Alessandro Bastoni, Gian Marco Ferrari and Mattia Zaccagni have been added to Italy’s squad for their upcoming triple-header of fixtures.

Centre-backs Bastoni and Ferrari will provide cover for Angelo Ogbonna and Alessio Romagnoli, who both picked up injuries for their club sides over the weekend.

Bastoni was initially named as part of the Under-21s squad but has now linked up with the senior group ahead of Wednesday’s friendly with Estonia.

It is the Inter defender’s second call-up, having also been included for August’s fixtures, while Hellas Verona midfielder Zaccagni is named in the senior squad for the first time.

Zaccagni impressed in Sunday’s 2-2 draw with Milan at San Siro, with no Verona player managing more touches (57), completing more passes (23) or contesting more duels (18).

Ferrari, yet to be capped for Italy, will arrive at the Coverciano training centre on Tuesday once he and his Sassuolo team-mates have completed a period of isolation.
