The teenage phenom is set to be called to the Azzurri.
Milan’s 17-year-old shot stopper could make his first appearance for the senior side in a move nearly unprecedented in Italian football. The last youngster to receive a call-up at 17 was Davide Santon by Marcello Lippi in 2009.
According to Sky Sport, the reason Donnarumma was snubbed by the U-21 side was to be called by Gianpiero Ventura.
Italy will take on France Thursday, September first in a friendly in Bari before playing Israel in their first FIFA World Cup qualifier.
Reporters say Donnarumma will not just be called up, but could receive minutes in the friendly.
