In brief
Bologna forward Nicolò Cambiaghi left Italy's camp on 14 November after failing to recover from an ankle trauma suffered in the 3-1 win over France on 12 November.
Italy face Belgium in Brussels at 20:45 on Sunday, 15 November, in the final Nations League group match, without Cambiaghi or Davide Frattesi.
Roberto Mancini must pick a new right winger for the attacking trio, with Antonio Vergara reported as a candidate by La Repubblica.
Cambiaghi's availability for Bologna's match against Udinese on 22 November is in doubt, and the club hopes to have him for the match against Venezia on 27 November.

Cambiaghi leaves the camp
Italy's national team lost Bologna forward Nicolò Cambiaghi on 14 November after an ankle injury. The Italian Football Federation (FIGC) said in a statement on its website that the medical staff assessed him that morning and that he would leave the camp.
“The Bologna forward did not recover from the ankle trauma sustained on Thursday in the match against France.”
Cambiaghi was among the standout players in the 3-1 win over France at San Siro on 12 November. He will return to Bologna, where Palladino's medical staff will evaluate him.
Belgium match planning
Italy play Belgium in Brussels on Sunday, 15 November, at 20:45 at the King Baudouin Stadium, in the last Nations League group match. Cambiaghi will not travel to Belgium. Coach Roberto Mancini still has to choose a new right winger for his attacking trio, and La Repubblica reports that Antonio Vergara is a candidate for the role. Mancini and Giorgio Scalvini are scheduled to speak to the media at 19:00 in Brussels, after the stadium walkaround.
Frattesi and the squad
Davide Frattesi had already left the camp before the Belgium trip because of a muscle problem. Fanpage reports that he returned to his club on Friday, 13 November. Italy therefore face Belgium without two players who had contributed to the win over France, with Frattesi having scored the second Italian goal in that match.
Bologna's next fixtures
Cambiaghi's availability for Bologna's Serie A match against Udinese at the Dall'Ara on 22 November is in doubt. If he cannot recover in time, the club hopes to have him available for the Serie A match against Venezia on 27 November.
