Azzurri at Coverciano. Out on the pitch for those that didn’t start against Spain

As we wait to find out our opponents for Sunday’s third-place playoff in Turin, the Azzurri got back to work at Coverciano. 22 players are still with the group after Leonardo Bonucci returned to his club – he is suspended for Sunday’s game.

The team got to Coverciano late last night after the game against Spain at San Siro. Those that didn’t start yesterday (Sirigu, Meret, Calabria, Dimarco, Cristante, Locatelli, Pellegrini, Berardi, Bernardeschi e Raspadori) trained as usual, while the others were doing light recovery work in the swimming pool and gym.
