Inter defender Federico Dimarco has been called up to the Italian national team for the first time in his career, with Azzurri coach Roberto Mancini deciding to bring him into the squad after an injury ruled Atalanta midfielder Matteo Pessina out.

The 23-year-old is happy to have earned his first senior national call-up, and he posted on his Instagram account with pictures of him training alongside the rest of the senior Azzurri squad for the first time.

He captioned the post, “My first time.”
