Luciano Spalletti has included three uncapped players in his 30-man provisional squad for EURO 2024, but four players from the longlist will have to be cut ahead of the announcement of the final, 26 man squad in June.

Three uncapped players are in the provisional squad. They include goalkeeper Ivan Provedel of Lazio, who has been involved in several Azzurri squads over the last year, having won the 2022-23 Golden Glove in Serie A last year.

To no surprise, Riccardo Calafiori is in the squad this time around. The 22-year-old Bologna centre-back has recently been nominated for Serie A defender of the year alongside Juventus and Inter counterparts Bremer and Alessandro Bastoni. Calafiori looks set to make the final 26-man Italy squad, but is still awaiting his first runout for the national team.

Michael Folorunsho is also on the 30-man squad list. The Napoli-owned Frosinone loanee earned his first call-up to the Italy team back in March for friendlies against Venezuela and Ecuador in the United States, but was not called upon in-game on that occasion.

There are also two players who have just the single cap to their names, both of whom made their debuts in the United States during the most recent international break. They are Tottenham goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario and Torino wing-back Raoul Bellanova.
