Italy did not qualify for the World Cup in Qatar, but have moved ahead and arranged a few international friendlies against Albania & Austria.
Emerson was excluded from the squad list but fellow West Ham colleague and Italian International Gianluca Scamacca was included.
Emerson picked up a broken nose during the Carabao Cup 3rd round defeat to Championship side Blackburn Rovers and has now subsequently been left out of the official squad with fellow Italian Rafael Toloi (Atalanta).
