The Story in 60 Seconds

Nuremberg forward Mohamed Alì Zoma aims to leverage his recent senior Italy debut to fuel his club's promotion push to the German top flight. The 22-year-old striker earned his first cap for the Azzurri as a substitute during a 2-0 defeat to Belgium on September 25 after receiving a call-up from Italy head coach Roberto Mancini.

Under manager Miroslav Klose, Nuremberg currently sit second in Bundesliga 2, driven by Zoma's prolific goalscoring form that included an opening-day hat-trick against Dynamo Dresden. Having netted 14 goals in 29 appearances last season, Zoma now shifts focus back to domestic competition ahead of a clash with fourth-placed Wolfsburg.
