Federico Gatti added to Italy squad for Nations League matches

Italy coach Roberto Mancini added Juventus defender Federico Gatti to the squad for the final two Nations League group matches.

Gatti, 28, has eight senior caps for Italy, and this is his first call-up since March.

His addition follows the withdrawal of Roma defender Gianluca Mancini with a muscle injury, while Udinese teenager Matteo Palma was called up in his place.

Italy will host France in Milan on November 12 and visit Belgium in Brussels on November 15.

The team is second in Group 1 with seven points, three behind France and one ahead of Belgium.

The group title is still at stake in these final fixtures, though Italy has already secured third place and a seeded place in the Euro 2028 qualifying draw.

Italy's 32-player squad will finish the group campaign in those two matches.
