Italy U21 are back in action in the qualifiers for Eropean U21 Championship against Republic of Ireland this month and Paolo Nicolato has two new faces in the squad.
Last month the Azzurrini finished with four points from two qualifying matches against Bosnia and Sweden – ending 2-1 and 1-1 respectively.
Nicolato has called up 25 players and has included two new faces to the fold by welcoming Atalanta defender Giorgio Scalvini and Heracles Almelo man Giacomo Quagliata.
Italy U21 squad:
Goalkeepers: Marco Carnesecchi (Cremonese), Alessandro Russo (Alessandria), Stefano Turati (Reggina)
Defenders: Raoul Bellanova (Cagliari), Riccardo Calafiori (Roma), Andrea Cambiaso (Genoa), Andrea Carboni (Cagliari), Gabriele Ferrarini (Perugia), Matteo Lovato (Atalanta), Kaleb Okoli (Cremonese), Lorenzo Pirola (Monza), Giacomo Quagliata (Heracles Almelo), Giorgio Scalvini (Atalanta)
Midfielders: Salvatore Esposito (Spal), Nicolò Fagioli (Cremonese), Filippo Ranocchia (Vicenza), Samuele Ricci (Empoli), Nicolò Rovella (Genoa), Iyenoma Destiny Udogie (Udinese)
Attackers: Matteo Cancellieri (Hellas Verona), Lorenzo Colombo (Spal), Lorenzo Lucca (Pisa), Samuele Mulattieri (Crotone), Roberto Piccoli (Atalanta), Emanuel Vignato (Bologna)
Leaving Tonali for the senior squad I suppose.
Tonali was called up by Mancini and he’ll probably see time as Verratti is injured
