MILAN, Italy — Italy has called up flanker Mauro Bergamasco and centre Gonzalo Canale after initially fearing that the pair would miss Italy's autumn internationals.
Bergamasco has been out of action with an injured foot. Canale hurt his back playing for Clermont Auvergne in the last round of matches in the French league.
Both players are crucial to coach Nick Mallett's plans as mainstays in the Italy side. Bergamasco has 76 caps, while Canale's next will be his 50th.
Italy plays New Zealand in Milan on Nov. 14, world champion South Africa in Udine on Nov. 21 and Samoa in Ascoli on No 28.
