Four players withdraw from Italy U21 squad

Fiorentina midfielder Cher Ndour, Frosinone's Gabriele Calvani and Matteo Centichella, and Palermo's Dominic Vavassori have withdrawn from the Italy U21 squad. In a statement on Tuesday, the Italian Football Federation (FIGC) confirmed the departures. Ndour, who recently scored a hat-trick, is also on this list.

Vavassori will not be part of the squad due to illness. He did not join the camp in Tirrenia on Monday and will stay at home. Ndour, Calvani and Centichella did join the camp but left for reasons that were not specified.

Head coach Silvio Baldini still has 24 players available. No new player has been called up yet ahead of the friendly matches against France on Friday and Belgium on Monday.
