Donnarumma breaks 105-year record with Italy call-up
The 17-year-old is the youngest call-up since 1911 and is one of a number of new faces in the squad of Azzuri.
AC Milan goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma leads a clutch of young players promoted to the Italy senior squad by new coach Giampiero Ventura to face France and Israel.
At 17, Donnarumma is the youngster Italy call-up since 1911, while his club teammate and reported Chelsea target Alessio Romagnoli, Juventus defender Daniele Rugani and Torino striker Andrea Belotti also step up from the Under-21s in search of full international honors.
Ventura's first squad since succeeding Antonio Conte also features, at the other end of the age spectrum, Juventus veteran Andrea Barzagli.
