Prior to the European Football Championship kick-off in Germany, Italy, the defending champions, face challenges in their team lineup. During the initial training session in Iserlohn, three midfielders were unable to finish the full workout. The main concerns for coach Luciano Spalletti focus on starting player Nicolò Barella, who has been dealing with muscle-related issues since June. Inter Milan's Barella participated in an individual training program.

During the first training day on Tuesday, Davide Frattesi and Nicolò Fagioli both sustained injuries. The 24-year-old Frattesi, who scored in the 1-0 win against Bosnia and Herzegovina in their last EM test and is a crucial player for Spalletti, had to leave the session early. Fagioli, just 23 years old and making his first appearance for the national team after a seven-month ban due to a betting scandal, also joined an individual training program.

Italy's Euros journey begins on Saturday (9 p.m./ARD/Magenta TV) as they face Albania in Dortmund. The groups they will compete in include Spain (20th of June) and Croatia (24th of June).
