Summary

- Injuries sideline Lazio captain Mattia Zaccagni, while newcomers join.

Roberto Mancini has selected a 31-player squad for Italy's upcoming November international fixtures, with midfielder Davide Frattesi notably included. Frattesi, a standout performer in recent matches, retains his position despite a slight dip in club form.
However, his Lazio colleague Mattia Zaccagni will be absent due to a muscle injury sustained recently. The squad also introduces new faces, including 17-year-old Riccardo Cassano and 18-year-old Simone Lontani, though these teenagers are expected to rejoin their youth teams shortly.
The Azzurri are scheduled to play crucial UEFA Nations League matches against France on November 12 and Belgium on November 15. These games are vital for Italy's progression to the quarter-finals, as they currently sit with seven points from their first four group stage outings.
