The 29-year-old Milan-born keeper is one of seven uncapped players called upon by coach Giovanni Trapattoni.

On current form, The Blues No.1 is the best ‘keeper in the Premiership and one of the main reasons why Chelsea are genuine title contenders.
He has kept five consecutive clean sheets, Chelsea’s best defensive record since 1911, and has helped them to their best start for 13 years.
Carlo, who pulled off a string of top-notch stops in Saturday’s 1-0 home success against Boro, was again named the man of the match.
He has now not conceded a goal for seven and a half hours of Premiership football.
Carlo’s presence in the named Italian party can only be seen as great achievement. It's been a long time coming - and very much deserved!
