Italy coach Roberto Donadoni has dropped experienced strikers
Alessandro del Piero and Filippo Inzaghi from his squad for
Saturday's Euro 2008 qualifier against Georgia.
Del Piero's omission comes following his lacklustre performance
against France in midfield, while he was a late substitute in
Juventus' draw at Fiorentina on Sunday.
Donadoni's decision to drop Inzaghi is a surprise, although the
experienced striker is yet to open his Serie A account for Milan
this season.
Italy squad:
Marco Amelia (Livorno), Gianluigi Buffon (Juventus), Gianluca Curci
(Roma); Andrea Barzagli (Palermo), Daniele Bonera (Milan), Giorgio
Chiellini (Juventus), Alessandro Gamberini (Fiorentina), Fabio
Grosso (Lyon), Massimo Oddo (Milan), Christian Panucci (Roma);
Massimo Ambrosini (Milan), Daniele De Rossi (Roma), Gennaro Gattuso
(Milan), Stefano Mauri (Lazio), Riccardo Montolivo (Fiorentina),
Andrea Pirlo (Milan); Antonio Di Natale (Udinese), Vincenzo
Iaquinta (Juventus), Pasquale Foggia (Cagliari), Cristiano
Lucarelli (Shakhtar Donetsk), Fabio Quagliarella (Udinese), Luca
Toni (Bayern Munich).
