The midfielder’s inclusion comes after Stefano Sensi was ruled out due to injury. Barella has been a key player for Inter Milan this season, helping them win the Serie A title.
Italy coach Roberto Mancini is confident in Barella’s abilities and believes he will be a valuable addition to the squad as they aim to compete for the European Championship title. Barella has represented Italy at various youth levels and has already earned 24 caps for the senior national team.
With his energy, creativity, and defensive work rate, Barella will provide depth and quality to Italy’s midfield options. The Azzurri are set to kick off their Euro 2020 campaign against Turkey on June 11.
