Chelsea new boy Davide Zappacosta gets late call-up to the Italy squad in the aftermath of defeat by Spain

Chelsea new boy Davide Zappacosta has been called up as a late inclusion by the Italian national side, following their recent humiliation against Spain.

Renowned for his attacking play and pinpoint delivery, Zappacosta was snapped up by Antonio Conte's side in a late £25million deal.
