MILAN (Reuters) - Italian players are getting fewer games than ever before in the country's own Serie A league, national team coach Roberto Mancini said Monday as he prepared for his first competitive games.

Italy host Poland on Friday and visit Portugal three days later in the newly-created Nations League, their first competitive internationals since November when they failed to qualify for this year's World Cup.
