Emerson #Palmieri hasn’t exactly taken the conventional route to the European Championship semifinals.
That’s not just a reference to the fact he has made only two Premier League appearances - both as a substitute - for Chelsea this season. A grand total of 89 minutes.
Or the fact that he will be playing for Italy against Spain at Wembley Stadium on Tuesday only because of a serious injury to left back Leonardo #Spinazzola, one of the best players at #Euro2020, near the end of the win over #Belgium in the quarterfinals.
