Six Juventus players called up to Italian national team squad by Anotnio Conte

Italy national team manager and ex-Juventus boss Antonio Conte has certainly raised some eyebrows with his Azzurri selections.

Can't say we were really surprised by the Bianconeri choices in the squad, but certain other selections have been head scratching-worthy especially considering how little these players have played this season. And then some players who have been tearing it up on the pitch in the Serie A are still finding it hard to make it into the side.

Italy will play Belgium in Brussels on Nov.13 before hosting Romania in Bologna on Nov. 17.
