FLORENCE (ITALPRESS) – The Azzurri held their final training session at Coverciano before leaving for Paris this afternoon to face France tomorrow evening at the Stade de France in Saint-Denis, in their third Nations League group match.

As had already happened ahead of the trip to Bursa, with the aim of managing preparations as effectively as possible ahead of the match against Turkey – scheduled for Monday, October 5 in Bologna – head coach Roberto Mancini has decided not to have the entire squad travel to France.

A specific training programme will therefore be arranged at Coverciano for nine players: Honest Ahanor, Nicolò Cambiaghi, Diego Coppola, Daniele Ghilardi, Samuele Inacio, Eddy Kouadio, Rolando Mandragora, Massimo Pessina and Alessandro Romano.

The nine players will not train with the rest of the squad this morning. Instead, they will take part in a training session this afternoon with members of the technical and performance staff: Massimo Maccarone, Cristiano Lupatelli, Giulio Nuciari and Luca Bossi.
