Italy Team Training on Sunday 4 October 2026
Italy’s national team wrapped up their training session on Sunday, October 4, 2026, at Bologna FC’s Technical Centre, where head coach Roberto Mancini led an important tactical workout. The squad is gearing up for their UEFA Nations League League A Group 1 matchday 4 clash against Türkiye—and there’s plenty on the line! Italy currently sits on 4 points while Turkey has 0, so a win would push the Italians to 7 points and boost their standing. Meanwhile, France holds 7 points and will take on Belgium, who have 6 points.
Here’s what went down during today’s session and the latest squad news:
Departure from Camp: Como forward Moise Kean left the international camp today (Sunday, October 4) after picking up an injury during Friday’s 1-1 draw with France. Since he wasn’t able to train with the team, Mancini has ruled him out for the Türkiye match. This opens the door for Atalanta’s Gianluca Scamacca to potentially earn a starting spot.
Tactical Approach: Mancini focused the session on fine-tuning his 4-3-3 formation and testing out different rotation possibilities. Midfielder Niccolò Barella is expected to make his way back into the starting lineup.
