Luciano Spalletti, the head coach of the Italian national team, spoke about his team's upcoming match against Germany in the UEFA Nations League quarter-finals, highlighting the developments regarding his players' conditions and preparations for the important clash.

The Italian national team is set to face Germany in the first leg tomorrow, Thursday, at San Siro Stadium, with the second leg scheduled for March 23.

In his statements, Spalletti said: "Rettigi has left the camp due to an injury that prevents him from recovering in time, but we hope he will return for the next match. The injury is not entirely clear, but he is suffering from muscle fatigue, and we preferred to give him rest so we can better assess his condition."

Spalletti clarified: "I will not call up any new players at this time because I want to see how things go with the players we have. I may need a pure striker in the future, but we will wait to see how the situations of Zakanthi and Cambiaso develop. If I need to call up a pure striker, I will call up Piccoli, and if I need a late striker, Bandanji will be the option."

Regarding the nature of the encounter against Germany, Spalletti said: "Matches between Germany and Italy always carry a special magic, as they bring together two historic teams with a long history of fierce competition. It will be an exciting match, and each team will do its utmost to achieve victory."

Spalletti also praised Julian Nagelsmann, the coach of the German national team, saying: "Nagelsmann is a very strong and modern coach who works directly on the field. It is noticeable that the team follows his instructions precisely, which is a sign that he applies specific training methods. Nagelsmann has an attacking style that suits his players' capabilities, and he represents part of the evolution of German football and is a top-notch coach."

In conclusion, Spalletti touched on Cambiaso, a player from the Italian national team, stating: "Cambiaso works continuously every day and shows great passion for what he does. He has the courage to move forward and always seeks to be present with the national team, and he is ready to endure pain to help his teammates."
