Italy have announced that Inter Milan defender Federico Dimarco has been forced to withdraw from Roberto Mancini 's squad ahead of their UEFA Nations League campaign.
Dimarco was initially selected in a 34-man squad by Mancini, who is preparing for his first national team camp since being re-appointed the Azzurri boss earlier this summer.
Italy are preparing for four Nations League fixtures over a two-week period in September and October, but Dimarco will now miss all four of those matches.
The Italian Football Federation (FIGC) have confirmed that the 28-year-old wing-back has been forced to withdraw from the squad due to injury.
