“I really want to be there. I am not 100 per cent fit, but I hope to recover,” Zaza told Sky Sport Italia.

“If there is even the slightest chance I can make it, then I will give it my all.”

He’ll be joined by Sassuolo teammate Nicola Sansone, who received his first senior Italy call-up.

The other prong of the Neroverdi trident, Domenico Berardi, is going to the Under-21 European Championship.
