Heavy rainfall in Bursa forced Italy to cancel their final training session ahead of their upcoming clash against Türkiye. The adverse weather conditions prevented the team from completing their preparations on the pitch, forcing the players to carry out their session indoors.
The Italian squad instead completed a muscle-activation session at their hotel, while the coaching staff were unable to work on their tactical preparations as planned. The cancellation also meant that Italy missed the opportunity to practise set-piece routines, an important aspect of their preparation for the encounter.
Meanwhile, Türkiye had dedicated approximately 30 minutes of their previous training session to practising set pieces, allowing them to focus on this area ahead of the match. Italy will therefore have to address their preparations as they get ready to face Vincenzo Montella’s side in Bursa.
