Three Inter Milan Youngsters Called Up For Italy’s Under-20 World Cup Squad

Inter have had three young players called up for Italy at the Under-20 World Cup.

This is confirmed by the squad list released for the tournament via FCInter1908. Defender Alessandro Fontanarosa, wingback Mattia Zanotti, and forward Francesco Pio Esposito are all called up.

Ex-Inter midfielder Cesare Casadei is also included.

Inter’s academy has produced a number of highly promising talents over the past number of years.

These have included players in every area of the pitch, from goal to defense to attack. Wingback Federico Dimarco is currently a regular in the Nerazzurri’s senior starting eleven, having come through the academy.

Of the current crop, a number of young Italian players have started to break out into the national setup.

The likes of Fontanarosa, Zanotti, and Esposito have all been impressing for Inter’s Primavera side this season. So much has this been the case that the trio have been called up for the Azzzurri.

Meanwhile, young midfielder Casadei is also included.

The 20-year-old had been considered one of the jewels of Inter’s youth academy setup. Casadei’s performances impressed Chelsea, who signed the midfielder last summer.

Casadei had not yet made an appearance for the Nerazzurri’s senior team at the time.

The former Inter midfielder is currently on loan at Championship club Reading from the Blues.
