Italy players have been given a day off after a 1-1 draw against Croatia on Monday and will start preparation for a Round of 16 tie against Switzerland on Wednesday.
Football Italia understands Italy returned to Iserlohn from Leipzig at 3:40 in the morning local time, so Luciano Spalletti gave his players a day off before starting preparation for the next EURO 2024 game against Switzerland.
Players have been allowed to leave the training base, where they will return after dinner.
After a 1-0 loss to Spain last week, Spalletti said he should have given his players more rest as some looked exhausted after a victory in their EURO 2024 debut against Albania.
Italy will play Switzerland in the Round of 16 on Saturday, June 29, at 18:00 CET at the Olympiastadion in Berlin, where the Azzurri won the 2006 World Cup in a Final against France.
Spalletti’s men finished as the Group B runners-up with four points below Spain, who won three games out of three.
