Mancini calls potential Italy talents for evaluation

Italy coach Roberto Mancini has called up a selection of young and interesting players for an exploratory training camp from December 20-22, including Chelsea midfielder Cesare Casadei.

The Azzurri did not participate in the World Cup in Qatar, but Mancini is still trying to make the most of the time by having a closer look at some potential new Nazionale stars.

He divided them into two groups, so on Tuesday and Wednesday they will be Serie B players, called in early to allow them to be back in action for their clubs at the weekend.

On Wednesday and Thursday, the players from Serie A sides and who play abroad will stream into the Coverciano training ground near Florence.

Italy’s next competitive match will be on March 23 in the European Championship qualifier with England.
