Roberto Mancini has returned to the Italy bench with a wide-ranging squad for the FIFA international window, selecting 34 players and opening the door to nine potential senior debuts.
A broad first selection
- Mancini named a 34-man Italy group for the international dates.
- Nine players in the squad have received their first call-up to the senior national side.
- The former Tigre player was not included in the selection.
The size of the group gives Mancini a broad view of his options on his return, while the number of newcomers points to a period of assessment as Italy begin the window with fresh faces around the camp.
