Italy prepares for Turkiye match without Kean due to injury
Summary

Italy’s national team will face Turkiye at the Stadio Dall’Ara in Bologna on October 5. Moise Kean has left the Italy camp due to injury, and Roberto Mancini suggested Gianluca Scamacca might start in his place. Italy began the Nations League group stage with a 2-0 defeat to Belgium, followed by a 4-1 win over Turkiye and a 1-1 draw with France. Mancini emphasized the importance of not underestimating Turkiye, who have lost all three matches so far in the group, scoring just one goal and conceding eight. The Azzurri intend to rotate their squad, particularly in the midfield position.
