Samuele Inacio included in Italy squad for Nations League match

Summary

Samuele Inacio, an 18-year-old talent from Borussia Dortmund, is part of Italy's 23-man squad for the Nations League match against Turkiye, scheduled for tonight. If he plays, it will mark a significant step in his international career, potentially aligning him closer to Italy. Inacio holds dual nationality and made his senior debut in a friendly against Luxembourg this past June. His one prior appearance does not commit him to Italy for competitive play, leaving open the possibility of representing Brazil in the future. Under FIFA rules, further competitive appearances could prevent a switch for three years.
