Sunderland winger Emanuele Giaccherini is delighted to be back in the Italy squad.
Giaccherini missed out on Italy's World Cup squad but has been brought back into the squad by new national boss - and his former manager at Juventus - Antonio Conte.
He said: "I played two games [in the international break] and we won them both. It's important for me to be back.
"It's good to have Conte in charge. He knows me.
"It's obviously important for me to play for Sunderland to continue with Italy, but now I'm only thinking about Sunderland."
