Andrea Conti made his full senior Italy debut in the 1-0 win over Israel, but the Milan full-back reveals he sprained his ankle.
“It was wonderful, I am very happy with the opportunity given to me by the Coach,” he told Rai Sport.
“It was only half-way happy, though, as my ankle turned after about 20 minutes and it has swollen up."
He limped off after 48 minutes to make way for Davide Zappacosta.

“We were coming off an ugly defeat, albeit against Spain, but kept our cool and concentrated on the match at hand.
“The Coach wants the full-back to always bomb forward and overlap with the winger. Maybe I did it a bit early at times and need to improve.”
