Italy U21’s coach Gigi Di Biagio has named a preliminary 27 man squad for the upcoming U21 European Championships to be held in Czech Republic.
The Azzurrini will be looking to go one better than two years ago where they finished runners-up losing to Spain 4-2 in the Final.
Di Biagio will be without the services of Mattia Perin who has been ruled out of the tournament through injury, and claims for Mattia De Sciglio and Stephen El Shaarawy to be included have been ignored.
The Azzurrini were drawn into Group B where they will face Sweden, Portugal and England, should they qualify for the Semi-Finals a potential match up against arch-rivals Germany awaits the Azzurrini.
