The coach said he wants to assess the squad quickly and is “open to any tactical solution” as the Azzurri begin a run of official matches with no margin for error.

The report also said Mancini had already altered his initial 34-man list because Bryan Cristante and Federico Dimarco were not fully fit, bringing in Samuele Ricci and Matteo Ruggeri instead. Mancini added that some experienced players have stayed at home for now, while younger options are being examined for the matches ahead.
