Roberto Mancini has confirmed his 23-man squad list for the Nations League Final Four, including five Inter stars, but not Mattia Zaccagni.

The Azzurri have been training at Forte Village with a preliminary 26-man squad, but Mancio has made changes for the Nations League semis.

Matteo Pessina and Domenico Berardi had already pulled out on Monday, while Federico Baschirotto, Alessandro Buongiorno, Alessandro Florenzi, Federico Gatti, Manuel Locatelli and Mattia Zaccagni were not included in the final 23-man squad.

Inter stars Francesco Acerbi, Alessandro Bastoni, Matteo Darmian and Nicolò Barella will join the team at Coverciano on Sunday or Monday after the Champions League Final against Manchester City on June 10.

Mateo Retegui makes the squad after scoring two goals in the first two appearances with the national team in March, against England and Malta.

Italy players will arrive at Coverciano on Sunday evening and start training on Monday. They will fly to the Netherlands on Wednesday where they will face Spain in the Nations League semis on Thursday, June 15.
