Ghanaian youth defender Bright Gyamfi was named in the Inter Milan team for their Coppa Italia exit against Juventus on Wednesday night.

The 19-year-old lateral defender, who can also play at either central defensive roles, was included in the Nerazzurri squad by manager Roberto Mancini but was unused.

Inter won the clash 3-0 to cancel out a similar triumph by Juventus from the first-leg, forcing the game to head for shoot-outs.

Inter's Rodrigo Palacio missed his kick, costing Inter a place in the final as Juventus progressed to set a date with Milan who qualified on Tuesday.

Gyamfi, who joined the Serie A giants from Kumasi-based Anokye Stars, has debuted for the Inter first team under manager Mancini.
