Brentford’s on-loan striker Marcello Trotta has been called up to Italy’s Under-21 squad for an upcoming training camp and match.

The 21-year-old is on loan at Brentford from Fulham for the 2013/14 season, his second spell at Griffin Park.

He was selected for Italy’s Under-21 squad for a training camp that will be held in Rome from Sunday, February 23, until Tuesday, February 25.

That camp will end with a training match.

The squad will then represent Italy in a 2015 UEFA European Under-21 Championships qualifier against Northern Ireland on Wednesday March 5.

Marcello will link up with Italy on Saturday March 1 for that qualifier.

He will miss Brentford’s Sky Bet League One match against Carlisle United on that date.

Marcello has represented Italy at Under-20, Under-19, Under-18 and Under-16 level.

He scored in an Under-21 match against an Italy ‘B’ side in December but that did not qualify him for an international cap.

Italy have played five of their eight qualifying games, winning three and losing two.

Marcello has scored 11 goals in 26 games for Brentford this season.
