Italy coach Roberto Mancini does not include five players who featured in Italy’s 0-2 defeat to Belgium in the squad that travels to Turkey for the next phase of fixtures. The outlets report that the players involved in the match against Belgium are among those left behind as Mancini makes changes to his lineup.
The decision is presented as part of a broader rotation strategy in response to a congested schedule. With multiple matches scheduled within a short period, Mancini aims to manage workload and alter team selection rather than rely on the same group that started the Belgium game.
While both reports focus on the same core point—five featured players are not traveling to Turkey—there are no major differences in the underlying rationale described. The coverage centers on squad rotation and player management rather than any dispute, injury dispute, or disciplinary issue, and it emphasizes that the latest decision follows immediately after the Belgium match.
