Vergara joins up with Mancini's Italy squad
The 2003-born midfielder took his first training session in the Azzurri, and Napoli marked it on Instagram.
Antonio Vergara took his first training session with Roberto Mancini's Italy squad, and Napoli wasted no time sharing it. The club's official Instagram posted a photo of the 2003-born midfielder in the Azzurri shirt with the caption "Prime volte" ("first times").
The call-up comes after a mixed start to the season. Vergara scored in the 2-0 win at Genoa, his first appearance of the campaign, then saw more of the bench than the starting XI until he was picked from the first minute at Fiorentina, lined up by Allegri alongside Gilmour, De Bruyne and Lobotka in midfield.
His Italy debut falls in the international break that also takes Gilmour away with Scotland and sees Favasuli called up by the Under-21s, leaving a small group training on at Castel Volturno (the training ground) before Serie A resumes on 10 October against Frosinone.
