This Monday, the Italy coach, Roberto Mancini, announced the call-up of the team for the dispute in the Final Four of the League of Nations. Pre-called up, left-back Lucas Piton, del Vasco, was left out.
One of the surprises on the list was the absence of Inter players. The reason is the Champions League final, between Manchester City and Inter, on June 10, close to the semi-final and final of the European selection tournament. Thus Bastoni, Barella and Dimarco, constant presences in the Azzurra, were not summoned by the commander.

The last four of the League of Nations will be hosted in the Netherlands. In the semifinals, Italy will face Spain on the 15th, at 15:45 (Brasilia time), at the De Grolsch Veste.
