Italy forward Nicolò Zaniolo has withdrawn from the national team squad for personal reasons, Football Italia reported on Tuesday. The announcement came ahead of Italy's upcoming international fixtures.
The 25-year-old attacker, who currently plays for Galatasaray, was initially named in the Azzurri squad but will not participate due to undisclosed personal matters. No replacement has been announced by the Italian Football Federation.
Zaniolo has earned 19 caps for Italy since his debut in 2019, scoring two goals. His absence leaves a gap in Italy's attacking options for the upcoming matches.
