Moise Kean and Nicolo Zaniolo, as expected, have been called up to Italy’s Under-21 squad for their September internationals.
The Everton striker and Roma midfielder stay with the Azzurrini after they were late for a team meeting before Italy’s final European Under-21 Championship fixture against Belgium in June.
The upcoming international break is Paolo Nicolato’s first since replacing Luigi Di Biagio as CT of the U21s.
