Frattesi, Tavares among eight Lazio players called for international duty | OneFootball

Lazio will be without eight players during an extended international break, including new signing Davide Frattesi. According to The Laziali, all eight have been called by European nations for UEFA Nations League fixtures.

The Inter Milan loanee scored the Biancocelesti’s first three goals of the season, and Roberto Mancini has included him in the first squad of his second Italy reign. The Azzurri face Belgium, Türkiye twice, and France. Mattia Zaccagni was overlooked despite strong form.

Denmark duo Gustav Isaksen and Oliver Provstgaard will meet Norway, Wales twice, and Portugal. Josip Sutalo’s Croatia play the Czech Republic, Spain twice, and England.

In-form Christos Mandas will hope to feature for Greece against Serbia, Germany twice, and the Netherlands. The goalkeeper could cross paths with Kenneth Taylor, who joins Xavi Hernandez’s Oranje squad.

Nuno Tavares’ revival has earned a call from Portugal’s new boss Jorge Jesus. The left-back will seek minutes in a Norway double-header, plus meetings with Wales and Denmark, where he could face Isaksen on the flank.

Albert Gudmundsson, alone among the eight in League C, will try to lift Iceland to the second tier. The 29-year-old is expected to play a key role against Estonia twice, Luxembourg, and Bulgaria.
