Di Biagio names Azzurrini squad

By Football Italia staff

Luigi Di Biagio has named his Italy Under-21 squad, featuring Domenico Berardi, Marco Benassi and Danilo Cataldi.

The Azzurrini face Serbia and Andorra in qualifying for the Under-21 European Championships in 2017, and the CT has named a Serie A-heavy squad.

All of the midfielders play for top-flight clubs, with Sassuolo’s Domenico Berardi also included up-front, having scored three goals in 18 caps.

Interestingly, Milan's Gianluigi Donnarumma hasn't been called, potentially indicating he'll be in Giampiero Ventura's senior squad.

Italy Under-21 squad for Serbia and Andorra:

Goalkeepers: Alessio Cragno [Benevento], Alex Meret [Spal], Simone Scuffet [Udinese]

Defenders: Davide Biraschi [Avellino], Arturo Calabresi [Brescia], Davide Calabria [Milan], Mattia Caldara [Atalanta], Andrea Conti [Atalanta], Adam Masina [Bologna], Nicola Murru [Cagliari], Filippo Romagna [Juventus]

Midfielders: Marco Benassi [Torino], Danilo Cataldi [Lazio], Alberto Grassi [Napoli], Luca Mazzitelli [Sassuolo]; Lorenzo Pellegrini [Sassuolo], Valerio Verre [Pescara]

Forwards: Domenico Berardi [Sassuolo], Alberto Cerri [Spal], Federico Di Francesco [Bologna], Luca Garritano [Cesena], Gaetano Monachello [Bari], Vittorio Parigini [Chievo Verona], Federico Ricci [Roma], Valerio Lorenzo Rosseti [Lugano]
