The 33-year-old former Genoa man will however remain in Russia to guide the Yellow-Blue against England tomorrow with the wife’s approval.
“I’m planning to stay. My wife is a very strong person and we knew the situation before I came here. Nothing has happened so far,” he said.
“If I have the position to fly home quickly then I may do that. But, whatever happens, I do not miss the quarter-final,” he added.
