Italy coach Giampiero Ventura says Sassuolo striker Domenico Berardi is set for a call-up.
Berardi has not yet made his senior Italy debut after 40 goals in 92 Serie A games.
“This season he started so well, scoring many goals in just a handful of appearances," said Ventura.
“He is maturing and has impressive statistics. I take the opportunity to reaffirm my ideas on this player: recently he was not called due to tactical reasons and the lack of time we had to make changes in that sense.
“We are talking about one of the best Italian talents in circulation and we will wait for him. In future we'll change our way of playing and he will be called."
