Italy recalled Francesco Acerbi to its squad for next month’s World Cup qualifiers against Norway and Moldova on Monday, with Davide Zappacosta and Riccardo Orsolini also receiving call-ups.
Defender Acerbi, who last played for Italy in a 0-0 draw with Ukraine in November 2023, has been a key player for Inter Milan in its run to the Champions League final this year.
Italy, which last qualified for the World Cup in 2014, is in Group I alongside Norway, Estonia, Israel and Moldova. The four-time World Cup winner travels to Oslo to play Norway on June 6 before hosting Moldova in Reggio Emilia three days later.
