Diary

Friday, 17 March 2023 - Head Roberto Mancini selected a trio of debutants and handed an international comeback to Inter defender Matteo Darmian in his latest Italy squad. Darmian was named in the 30-man selection for the Euro 2024 qualifiers against England and Malta, marking his first call-up since March 2018, when he failed to appear from the substitutes' bench in friendlies with Argentina and England. He last played for Italy in November 2017, when they lost to Sweden and subsequently failed to qualify for the 2018 World Cup in Russia. Mancini has also handed an opportunity to Lecce goalkeeper Wladimiro Falcone, Torino defender Alessandro Buongiorno and Tigre forward Mateo Retegui. However, there are notable absentees with Nicolo Zaniolo, Gianluca Mancini, Manuel Locatelli and Mattia Zaccagni missing out, while Alessandro Bastoni, Giacomo Raspadori and Guglielmo Vicario are absent due to injury.

Monday, 20 March 2023 - The Azzurri report for their first training session at the Federal Technical Center in Coverciano. Italy trained this afternoon without Federico Dimarco and Federico Chiesa.
Roberto Mancini has called up West Ham defender Emerson Palmieri to replace the injured Federico Dimarco. The Inter defender sustained a minor injury during Sunday's 1-0 loss at San Siro and underwent exams in Coverciano this morning. Results have shown Dimarco will need to rest over the next few days, not being available for games against England and Malta this week. Chiesa, the Juventus winger, will not be replaced after sustaining a new injury in the game against Inter on Sunday. He underwent exams in Turin today, which 'ruled out any lesions', Juventus confirmed.
