Lesser-known Italy internationals to watch out for

Roberto Mancini has recently introduced several lesser-known Italy internationals to the national team, injecting excitement into a disappointing period in Italian football. One such player is 20-year-old midfielder Alessandro Romano, who has impressed in a loan at Cagliari. His ability to control games could be crucial for Italy's future.

Another surprise call-up is young centre-back Eddy Kouadio, who has been a regular for Fiorentina on loan at Monza. His physical presence and versatility make him a valuable addition to the Italian defense. Striker Mo Ali Zona, a 22-year-old with five goals in five games for Nurnberg, has also made the Azzurri squad. His diverse playing style and rising stock make him a promising talent.

Lastly, Issa Doumbia, a seasoned veteran who has played a key role in Venezia's return to Serie A, has been called up to address Italy's midfield issues.
