Italy striker Gianluca Scamacca has been ruled out of the national team's upcoming fixtures due to a muscle injury. The Atalanta forward sustained the issue in a recent Serie A match.
In response to the injury, Italy coach Luciano Spalletti has called up Bologna's Riccardo Orsolini as a replacement for the squad. The team is preparing for friendly matches against Ecuador and Venezuela in the United States.
Contrary to some speculation, Spalletti did not call up Monza midfielder Daniel Maldini, the son of Italian legend Paolo Maldini. Spalletti stated his current selections are based on the players' recent form and performances with their clubs.
The Italian Football Federation confirmed the squad changes, noting Scamacca will return to his club for treatment. Italy's matches are part of their preparations for future competitions.
