Premier League pair Sandro Tonali and Nicolo Zaniolo have been released from Italy's squad amid an investigation by Italian prosecutors.

Newcastle midfielder Tonali and Aston Villa attacker Zaniolo were not in the right "condition", stated FIGC, to take part in Italy's two Euro qualifiers.

Former AC Milan midfielder Tonali and ex-Roma star Zaniolo were informed of the investigation on Thursday.

"Regardless of the nature of the investigative order, given that in this situation the two players are not in the right condition to face the commitments of the coming days, the federation has decided [...] to allow them to return to their respective clubs," the FIGC said.

ANSA reports the probe is betting related after prosecutors announced an investigation into 22-year-old Juventus midfielder Nicolo Fagioli, who is alleged to have used a variety of identities to place bets on illegal websites.
