5 players who could make their debut soon for Italy

Roberto Inglese celebrates scoring against AS Roma

Roberto Inglese never played for Italy at youth level and was forced to bid his time in the lower divisions before finally reaching Serie A with Chievo in 2015. But now, after solid numbers last season and a good start to the current campaign, the 26-year-old looks close to fulfilling his dream of turning out for Italy at full international level.

Napoli signed up the forward in September, allowing him to return on loan to Chievo for the season, and his first Italy call-up came for the World Cup qualifiers against Macedonia and Albania last month.

While he didn’t receive minutes on that occasion, Italy’s lack of top-tier attacking talent means that his chance to impress will be soon in coming.
