Nice striker Mario Balotelli and
Torino striker Andrea Belotti have been left out of the Italy
squad for a friendly against Ukraine and a Nations League test
in Poland but even more surprisingly Toronto FC star Sebastian
Giovinco has been brought back, ANSA sources said Friday.
Roberto Mancini's squad will shortly be made official by the
Italian Soccer Federation, the sources said.
The list will also see the return after a long spell out of
Lazio centre-back Francesco Acerbi.
Twenty-five-year-old Sampdoria striker Gianluca Caprari gets
his first call-up.
PSG midfielder Marco Verratti and Roma flanker Alessandro
Florenzi return from injury.
Giovinco, 31, is a former Juventus star.
