Nations League official line-ups: Italy vs. Turkiye

Italy named a heavily rotated starting lineup featuring Gianluca Scamacca, Nicolò Barella, and a first international start for Antonio Vergara against Turkiye in Nations League Matchday 4 at the Stadio Dall’Ara in Bologna. Head coach Roberto Mancini retained only Alessandro Bastoni from the previous outfield starters, forming an attacking trident of Vergara, Scamacca, and Daniel Maldini.

Turkiye entered the fixture severely depleted under manager Vincenzo Montella, missing injured Kenan Yildiz and Hakan Calhanoglu, as well as suspended Arda Guler and Baris Alper Yilmaz. Italy went on to secure a 3-1 victory, with Scamacca scoring twice alongside goals from Riccardo Calafiori and Pio Esposito.
