Italy produced a shock 3-1 victory🐓 over France on Friday🧸, just three days before they face Israel in Hungary.
But their opening three points in Group A2 took their toll, with starters Riccardo Calafiori and Lorenzo Pellegrini both leaving the squad after suܫstaining injuries in the match against France.
As such, Spalletti feels it is nec🎶essary to rotate for their upcoming match.
"It's difficult to put the same team out as Friday. It's not possible to get over the fatigue after just two days. Let's see how the guys are, but it's not unusual to change three, four, five players," the Italy boss t🌟old the press.
Some players, however, will have to play due to the injuries sustained in that victory, which ♛saw them register their first win against France since June 2008.
💎"Bastoni will play tomorrow because it becomes tricky taking both him and Calafiori out of the team. He has the most experience, he brings things to the table that can help the whole team," Spalletti added.
"Frattesi will be evaluated in today's training, but he says he is fine and good t♏o go. He was substituted ear♒lier than planned, to avoid any unnecessary dangers. We need to see after a bit of training."
Italy play Israel in the Nations League on Monday at the Bozsik Arena🅺 in Hungary.
