Italy, Mancini speaks ahead of Bosnia on Zaniolo and Tonali

Roberto Mancini is preparing to lead his Azzurri team into matches with Bosnia and Armenia in the qualifying rounds of Euro 2020, already mathamaticaly guaranteed entry to the tournament in June. The CT spoke in an interview to RadioRai, discussing the decisions around players he will be testing for various positions, first whether Zaniolo or Tonali will start: "The doubt stems from simply the fact that Zaniolo has been playing wide in the attack for Roma or as second striker, not as a central midfielder. I hope that I have all my players available in March for the tune-up friendly matches, but I won't ask the clubs to release the players to Coverciano between the end of February and spring. They fall on Monday and Tuesday, and it risks stressing the players who are already in a very busy period."
