Italy Giacomo Raspadori has withdrawn from the national team squad due to an injury sustained during international duty, according to an official statement from the Italian Football Federation (FIGC).
Italy Prepares for Upcoming Fixtures Without Raspadori
The Italian national team returned to training at the technical facilities in Coverciano following a 4-1 away victory over Turkey in their second match of UEFA Nations League A, Group 1. During the initial training session, Raspadori did not participate with the group and was kept on a rest program. Subsequent medical evaluations confirmed that his injury would prevent him from featuring in the upcoming matches against France on October 2 and Turkey on October 5, prompting his release from the training camp.
