Dortmund starlet will not play against France as Italy picks squad for Paris visit

Borussia Dortmund teenager Samuele Inacio will miss Italy's UEFA Nations League match against France in Paris after being omitted from Roberto Mancini's travelling squad. The 18-year-old is among nine players left behind at Coverciano who will instead train with assistant coaching staff. The Azzurri are preparing for their matchday three clash against Zinedine Zidane's French side.

Inacio has now missed three consecutive matchday squads despite earning a call-up to Mancini's 34-man group. Italy sit third in League A Group 1 following a 2-0 defeat to Belgium and a 4-1 victory over Turkey. The youngster could potentially make his international appearance on October 5 in the home fixture against Turkey.
