After their draw against England, which meant they remained top of Group 3 in the Nations League, the Azzurri returned to training in Birmingham this morning. Those who played yesterday evening completed a pool recovery session while the rest of the group got down to work on the pitch. In addition to Alessandro Florenzi, who has returned to Italy to undergo a minor operation that has been planned for months, Tommaso Pobega has left the camp. The Torino midfielder, who is unavailable for Tuesday’s match against Germany, will return to his club side in the next few hours to receive treatment.

Despite being suspended for the game against the Germans after picking up a yellow card against England, Sandro Tonali will remain with the squad. Tomorrow morning, a trip to Düsseldorf awaits Mancini’s men, who will add the finishing touches to their preparations at Borussia-Park in Mönchengladbach in the afternoon. At 20:45 CEST on Tuesday, Italy will take on Germany ten days after the draw between the sides in Bologna on matchday one of the third edition of the UEFA Nations League.
