Roma's Gianluca Mancini and Napoli's Matteo Politano have withdrawn from the Italy squad due to injury.
Both players started in the Azzurri's 1-1 draw away against North Macedonia in Euro 2024 qualifying on Saturday – Luciano Spalletti's first game in charge.
However, defender Mancini sustained a thigh strain during the second half and has now returned to Roma to begin his recovery.
Politano, meanwhile, has retuned to Napoli for assessments on a calf problem that forced the attacker to be withdrawn at half time against North Macedonia.
Spalletti has opted against calling up a replacement for Mancini, but the Italy boss has called up Bologna winger Riccardo Orsolini to take the place of Politano.
Orsolini, who scored 11 goals in 32 Serie A games last season, has not represented his country since November 2020 when he scored as a substitute in a 4-0 friendly win over Estonia.
The 26-year-old's only other appearance for the Azzurri was his senior debut a year earlier when he starred with one goal and two assists in a thumping 9-1 victory over Armenia in Euro 2020 qualifying.
Orsolini will be hoping to force his way into Spalletti's starting lineup when Italy play host to Ukraine at San Siro in a Euro 2024 qualifier next Tuesday.
Italy currently sit third in Group C of Euro 2024 qualifying with four points from their opening three games, three points behind second-placed Ukraine who have played a game more and drew 1-1 with leaders England on Saturday. body check tags ::
