The players called up by Roberto Mancini are now 32 as the squad is arrived throughout the course of the day at Forte Village in Sardegna. During the training camp the players will train every day from tomorrow until Thursday, and will face San Marino in a friendly at the Sardegna Arena on Friday. Lazio defender Manuel Lazzari, who is unavailable for personal reasons, will not join the squad.
