Edera gets Azzurrini call

By Football Italia staff

Torino youngster Simone Edera has been given his first call-up for the Italy Under-21s, as Alberico Evani names his first squad.

Azzurrini CT Luigi Di Biagio is taking the senior team for this month’s friendlies, so Evani will take charge of the Under-21s.

Today he has named his squad for the games with Norway and Serbia, and Edera is included for the first time.

Though he’ll miss the Arsenal game tonight, Milan right-back Davide Calabria has been named in the Azzurrini squad.

His Rossoneri teammate Patrick Cutrone is also in, indicating he won’t be called-up for the senior team for the games with Argentina and England.
