Mancini: ‘Italy make changes, biggest mistake against Turkiye’

Italy manager Roberto Mancini has warned against underestimating Turkiye ahead of their upcoming match at the Stadio Dall'Ara in Bologna. After securing a 4-1 victory in Bursa and a 1-1 draw with France, Mancini plans to rotate his lineup due to fatigue from a demanding schedule. He emphasized that assuming the match will be easy represents the biggest mistake Italy could make.

Injured forward Moise Kean has returned to Como, opening up opportunities for young players such as Antonio Vergara and Alessandro Romano. Turkiye enter the contest under pressure after three Nations League defeats, dealing with injuries to Kenan Yildiz and Hakan Calhanoglu as well as Arda Guler serving a suspension.
