Pellegrini named in Italy squad but no room for Kean in Euro 2020 qualifiers

Luca Pellegrini has been included in Italy's squad for the Euro 2020 qualifiers against Armenia and Finland in September.

Left-back Pellegrini joined Juventus from Roma in June but has been loaned out to Cagliari – the team where he spent the second half of the 2018-19 campaign – for this season.

The 20-year-old has now been handed a first international call up as Italy boss Roberto Mancini sticks by his plan to blood younger players heading towards the next major tournament.

However, one youngster who has not been selected this time around is Moise Kean.
