Giacomo Calò wins Serie A Player of the Month for October
Three goals in four league games earn the Frosinone midfielder the award, though Roberto Mancini left him out of the November squad.
Frosinone midfielder Giacomo Calò has been named Serie A Player of the Month for October, after scoring three goals in his four league games that month. He came out ahead of:
- Anastasios Douvikas (Como)
- Gustav Isaksen (Lazio)
- Nikola Krstovic (Atalanta)
- Scott McTominay (Napoli)
- Marcus Thuram (Inter)
It is the second player to win the award this season, after Donyell Malen (Roma) took the August and September prize. According to Football Italia, Calò has five goals from 11 games this season, yet he missed out on Italy's squad for the November friendlies against France and Belgium. His agent spoke of a lack of logic in the selections and said he hoped the omission would not be «the death of meritocracy».
Mancini defended the decision: Calò is doing well, but he does not want to call up players aged 29 or 30 for this camp, preferring to give minutes to youngsters such as Alessandro Romano, Issa Doumbia and Niccolò Pisilli.
