Who Spalletti might call for Italy at Euro 2024

Luciano Spalletti had his final friendly tests before the Euro 2024 call-ups, so there are already quite a few clues as to who will be in the squad.

The Azzurri won both matches in their American tour, beating Venezuela 2-1 and Ecuador 2-0, and the coach said that many of the players in that group will be going to Germany over the summer.

Sky Sport Italia took a look at the most likely options for the 23-man squad for the European Championship.

Tottenham Hotspur goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario seems to have overtaken Alex Meret for a place, though Ivan Provedel was injured for the American games.

In defence, Francesco Acerbi remains a major doubt and could be dropped permanently if he is found guilty of racially abusing Napoli man Juan Jesus.

Riccardo Calafiori could be called in from the Under-21 side after his impressive performances for Bologna.

If Spalletti is trying to leave the door open for the 3-4-2-1 formation, then he wants versatile figures who can do both roles, including Raoul Bellanova and Destiny Udogie.

Nicolò Zaniolo seems to have a space in attack, though Gianluca Scamacca and Moise Kean hope to break their way in.

Lazio veteran Ciro Immobile would appear to have lost his place and will need a big change of form to get back in.
