Nicolò Zaniolo has officially left the Italy national team training camp at Coverciano after failing to recover from a lingering muscle and joint injury, forcing head coach Roberto Mancini to release the forward ahead of upcoming international fixtures.
Zaniolo Departs Coverciano After Failed Recovery
The Italian national team setup confirmed that Zaniolo is unable to take part in the squad’s upcoming matches. According to reports from SportMediaset and CalcioNapoli24, the forward arrived at the national team training camp carrying a physical issue and spent recent days undergoing physiotherapy sessions rather than participating in full group training.
