Roberto Mancini announced his squad for the upcoming Nations League games this evening. Two AC Milan players are included on the list but there is also one notable absentee.
An international break will take place next week, giving some of the players much-needed rest. However, that won’t be the case for Tommaso Pobega and Sandro Tonali as they have been called up by Italy manager Mancini.
On the other hand, Milan’s captain Davide Calabria has been snubbed once again. It’s well known that Mancini isn’t a huge fan of the right-back, but he was expected to make the squad now that Alessandro Florenzi (a Mancini favourite) is injured.
Italy will face Hungary and England in the Nations League during the break. It remains to be seen how much playing time Pobega will get, but Tonali is poised to play a lot for the Azzurri given his importance.
