Approaching the Euros: Azzurrini at work in Tirrenia, Alessandro Zanoli also leaves training camp

With less than two weeks to go until the start of the European Championships, the National Under-21 team continues its march towards the continental tournament at the Tirrenia headquarters. In the afternoon the Azzurrini will return to training after attending a meeting in the morning on the risks of corruption and match fixing in football and a first aid training course organised by UEFA.

In the meantime, after the departures of Moise Kean and Niccolò Pierozzi in the past few days, Sampdoria defender Alessandro Zanoli has also left the training camp, the third player to be unavailable since the first phase of the camp began. This leaves 26 players at the disposal of Paolo Nicolato, who on Tuesday 13 June will be called upon to choose the 23 Azzurrini who will take part in the continental tournament.
