Orsolini, Ricci, Provedel Miss Out On Italy's Final Euro 2024 Squad
Riccardo Orsolini, Samuele Ricci, and Ivan Provedel have been excluded from Luciano Spalletti's Italy squad for Euro 2024. Spalletti initially named a 30-man provisional group last month as Italy aims to become the second team to win consecutive Euros, following Spain's victories in 2008 and 2012.
Notably absent from the provisional squad were experienced players Ciro Immobile, Manuel Locatelli, and Marco Verratti. Additionally, defenders Francesco Acerbi and Giorgio Scalvini were ruled out due to injuries. Federico Gatti was brought in to replace Scalvini after he ruptured his anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in his left knee during Atalanta's Serie A match against Fiorentina on Sunday.
Spalletti needed to cut three more players ahead of Friday's deadline, resulting in Orsolini, Ricci, and Provedel being left out. Lazio goalkeeper Provedel was always an unlikely candidate for the final squad, with Tottenham's Guglielmo Vicario and Napoli's Alex Meret serving as backups to Gianluigi Donnarumma.
Torino midfielder Ricci misses out due to competition from Davide Frattesi, Nicolo Fagioli, and Michael Folorunsho, alongside established names like Jorginho, Nicolo Barella, Lorenzo Pellegrini, and Bryan Cristante. Orsolini has been excluded despite a strong season with Bologna, where he scored 10 goals and provided two assists in 33 league appearances.
