BVB bombshell: three talents set for Italy debut | OneFootball

After a surprise call-up to Italy’s national team, three BVB talents are now set for the big stage. They could soon make their debut for the Azzurri.

Borussia Dortmund can celebrate having no fewer than three young talents in the Italy national team squad. Interim coach Silvio Baldini has called up Samuele Inácio, Luca Reggiani, and Filippo Mane to the Azzurri for the first time. The upcoming friendlies against Luxembourg on June 3 and Greece on June 7 could see the trio make their senior international debuts.

Inácio’s selection in particular recently caused a stir. The 18-year-old attacking player impressed at BVB with strong performances at the end of the season and is considered one of the most exciting talents in Dortmund’s squad. In addition to Italian nationality, Inácio also holds Brazilian citizenship.

Reggiani, too, is already seen as one of BVB’s great hopes despite his young age. The 18-year-old recently delivered solid performances in defense and has now benefited from the overhaul within the Squadra Azzurra. After missing out on World Cup qualification, Baldini is deliberately relying on young players and has put together an extremely youthful squad.

Filippo Mane’s call-up, on the other hand, comes as more of a surprise. The 21-year-old played only a minor role for Borussia Dortmund’s first team last season, making just six appearances. However, Baldini already knows the defender from Italy’s U21 national team, which explains his inclusion.

Alongside the three Dortmund talents, Fabio Chiarodia of Borussia Mönchengladbach is another Bundesliga youngster in Italy’s squad. In total, the squad consists of 24 players, only a few of whom have so far gained experience with the senior national team. According to the Italian federation, the average age is just 20 years and six months.

After another failure in World Cup qualification, the current youth-focused approach is meant to provide fresh momentum. For the three BVB talents, this now presents a major opportunity to prove themselves on the international stage.
