Fire rips through rowhouses in Riverdale, Illinois
Flames consumed multiple rowhouses in the south Chicago suburb of Riverdale overnight Monday into Tuesday. The fire broke out in the early-morning hours at 137th Street and Eggleston Avenue. It was not immediately learned how the fire started or if anyone was inside the rowhouses at the time. Riverdale Professional Firefighters 3580 said fire department staffing issues were a problem in fighting the fire. The union said the first arriving engine had only three full-time firefighters on board, and one had to remain outside to operate the pump and maintain the water supply — leaving only two to go inside and fight the fire. Information from the Riverdale Fire Department was not immediately available.

Italy in defensive injury crisis ahead of World Cup qualifiers after latest training blow
Italy and CT Luciano Spalletti have hit crisis mode in defence ahead of June's World Cup qualifiers against Norway and Moldova, as Milan centre-back Matteo Gabbia has now come down with a calf issue in training. According to reports from Sky Sport Italia, Gabbia was forced out of the Italy national team training session on Tuesday with a calf injury, which is likely to be a tendon issue according to the initial updates.

Inter's Francesco Acerbi has recently refused a call-up to join the national team for June's World Cup qualifiers, while there are ongoing fitness concerns over Federico Gatti of Juventus and Napoli captain Giovanni Di Lorenzo, both of whom trained separately on Tuesday.

Advertisement That means that Inter's Alessandro Bastoni is the only capped central defender currently available in the Italy national team squad. The injury crisis at centre-back could be good news for Fiorentina captain Luca Ranieri, who was called into the squad to replace Buongiorno earlier this week, while the uncapped 21-year-old Diego Coppola could also be in line for an opportunity in his first camp.
