Italy call on uncapped duo

Italy face the Scots in Bari on March 28 but will be missing Alessandro Nesta and Vincenzo Iaquinta who are injured.

Quagliarella, 24, is considered one of Italy's best young strikers and has scored 11 goals in Serie A this season.

Other players rewarded for their recent good form were the Milan duo of Massimo Ambrosini and Daniele Bonera.

Midfielder Ambrosini has been crucial in Milan's drive for a place in next season's Champions League.

On Sunday he headed the winner in a 1-0 victory over Atalanta. He also headed in winning goals in league games against Siena and Sampdoria last month.

Defender Bonera was used by former Italy coaches Giovanni Trapattoni and Marcello Lippi, but had never previously been called up by Donadoni.

Italy are third in group B with seven points from four matches, two points behind leaders Scotland.
