Luiz Felipe is eagerly awaiting a call from Italy coach Roberto Mancini as he hopes for a spot in the squad.
The 24-year-old Italian-Brazilian defender was handed his first Azzurri call-up by the former Manchester City and Inter coach back in January, taking part in training sessions at Coverciano. He has spent his entire professional career in the Italian peninsula with Lazio and Salernitana.
