Italy squad for Argentina and Nations League matches

Roberto Mancini has named the Italy squad for the June Finalissima against Argentina and four Nations League games against Germany, Hungary and England.

The Azzurri will come together at the Coverciano training camp from Friday May 27 to prepare for those encounters.

They will play five matches in the space of just 15 days, starting with the Finalissima at Wembley Stadium in London on June 1.

That is a clash between EURO 2020 winners Italy and Copa America holders Argentina, organised by UEFA and CONMEBOL.

The 2022-23 edition of the Nations League also begins and Italy hope to reach the Final Four again after securing the bronze medal in 2020-21.

They begin by hosting Germany at the Stadio Dall’Ara in Bologna on Saturday June 4, then take on Hungary at the Stadio Dino Manuzzi in Cesena on Tuesday June 7.

There will be a trip to England at the Molineux Stadium in Wolverhampton on Saturday June 11, then in Monchengladbach against Germany on Tuesday June 14.

There is a return to the Italy squad for Leonardo Spinazzola, who only just returned to the field for Roma after tearing his Achilles tendon during EURO 2020, but Ciro Immobile of Lazio is out of action with an ankle injury.

There are first calls for the senior squad going to Empoli striker Andrea Pinamonti and Sassuolo midfielder Davide Frattesi.

Verona forward Gianluca Caprari returns for the first time since October 2018.
