Chelsea's Emerson Palmieri and Jorginho are two of six players to leave the Italy squad following the Azzurri's defeat to Argentina at Wembley. Roberto Mancini's side fell to a 3-0 loss in the 'Finalissima' - the clash between Europe and South America's champions.
Both Jorginho and Emerson started the game for the Euro 2020 champions with the latter being replaced by Alessandro Bastoni in the 77th minute, but have been deemed surplus to requirements for fixtures in the Nations League against Germany, Hungary and England. The duo have departed their nation's Coverciano retreat alongside Giorgio Chiellini, who has retired from international football, Federico Bernardeschi, Lorenzo Insigne and Marco Verratti.
Insigne and Verratti both missed the match against Argentina through injury, but it was always intended that the intercontinental clash would be home to those that tasted success in Euro 2020 12 months before. However, Mancini is ready to provide some new faces with an opportunity after his side failed to qualify for the World Cup, and to provide his veterans with a longer summer break.
