Milan striker Gianluca Lapadula has been called-up to the Italy squad, as Manolo Gabbiadini is injured.

The former Pescara striker scored his first-ever Serie A goal during the win over Palermo yesterday, and now he could win his first Azzurri cap.

Napoli forward Gabbiadini has been forced to pull out of the squad with muscular fatigue, and CT Giampiero Ventura has decided to call Lapadula as a replacement.

It’s a somewhat surprising call-up given the 26-year-old’s lack of playing time this season, but completes a fairytale rise for Lapadula, who was playing in Lega Pro with Teramo in 2014-15.
