Dossena Lands Italy Call-Up


Andrea Dossena has received a timely boost with the news that Italy coach Marcello Lippi has named him in his squad for Wednesday's friendly with Austria.

The Reds full-back completed his first 90 minutes of Premier League action in Saturday's 1-0 win at Sunderland and will now join up with the Italians for what will be Lippi's first match in charge since returning to the post in which he won the 2006 World Cup.

Dossena will be hoping his impressive form at Liverpool will see him add to his one Italy cap to-date after he made his bow in a friendly match against South Africa in October 2007.
