Is is emerging, in fact, that 14 of the current squad will be off on International duty. We begin with the Italians, Claudio Marchisio, Gianluigi Buffon, Andrea Barzagli, Leonardo Bonucci and Daniele Rugani, called up to face Germany, who have included Sami Khedira in their squad.
Otherwise. Stephan Lichtsteiner is set to play for Switzerland, Miralem Pjanic for Bosnia, Mario Mandzukic for Croatia, along with South Americans Gonzalo Higuain, Dani Alves and Juan Cuadrado.
In Africa, meanwhile, Mehdi Benatia and Mario Lemina will also participate in qualifiers, while Italian youngster Emil Audero has been called up by Italy’s Under-20 team for the Four Nations tournament! Not bad, eh?
