Spalletti to call up more than 23 players for Italy’s March squad

With just a month left before the international break, Italy is preparing for a two-legged showdown against Germany in the UEFA Nations League quarterfinals. However, the official nature of these matches won’t stop head coach Luciano Spalletti from testing some of his backup options.

Details: The Azzurri boss confirmed that he is open to adding one or two more players beyond the usual 23-man squad. Spalletti emphasized that he is keeping a close eye on young talents in Serie A, such as Roma’s Tommaso Baldanzi and Fiorentina’s Michael Folorunsho.

Quote: “Even though we have a strong core group to rely on, we want to take a closer look at players like Baldanzi. Folorunsho is performing very well, and we’ll monitor him until the very end before making a final decision on his call-up. I think this time, we can take one or two extra players in addition to the usual 22 or 23,” Spalletti said.
