Roberto Mancini Calls up Only One Lazio Player for Italy Camp

Italy head coach Roberto Mancini named a 31-man squad for the upcoming November international break, with midfielder Davide Frattesi being the only Lazio player selected. Frattesi retained his spot in the national team setup after being a regular performer during the previous September and October international window. The Azzurri are scheduled to face France at San Siro on November 12 before playing an away fixture against Belgium on November 15.

Frattesi is Lazio's sole representative after club captain Mattia Zaccagni was sidelined due to a muscle injury sustained against Cagliari that could keep him out for a month. Full-back Romano Floriani Mussolini was reportedly considered but ultimately excluded from the final roster. Mancini's squad also integrated young talents, including Como midfielder Riccardo Cassano and Parma forward Simone Lontani, as Italy aims to secure a top-two finish in their UEFA Nations League group.
