Nicolò Zaniolo leaves Italy squad due to injury before Nations League matches

Summary

Nicolò Zaniolo has departed the Italy training camp due to a hamstring injury, ruling him out of upcoming Nations League games against Turkiye and France. He was unable to feature in Italy's recent match against Belgium, which ended in a 2-0 defeat. Zaniolo's injury has limited his appearances for Udinese, with only one match played since he sustained the injury last month. His exit follows the withdrawals of Federico Dimarco and Bryan Cristante, both also due to fitness issues. Italy will face Turkiye on September 28 and France on October 2.
