Player Profile
The right-sided midfielder broke into the national side last year and scored in Switzerland’s crucial 2-0 qualifying win over nearest rivals Greece.
With his distinctive blond hair, the hard-working Padalino is easy to spot in the Swiss midfield.
Padalino joined Sampdoria in 2008, having previously played in Italy for Serie B sides Catania and Piacenza. He helped Sampdoria to fourth place this season, their best finish for 16 years.
He became a father in August last year - his partner Charlotte had a boy called Gabriel.
