Rossi Set For Euro 2008 after left out from Italy Under-21
The Toulon Tournament takes place in Southern France from May 20-29, and will serve as a warm-up for the Azzurrini prior to their participation in the Olympic games in Beijing later in the summer.
Italy Under-21 boss Gigi Casiraghi has named the 22 players who will travel to Toulon, and a notable absentee is Villarreal’s Giuseppe Rossi.
Rossi’s surprise exclusion may indeed mean that Italy boss Roberto Donadoni is preparing to select him for Euro 2008. Another play who was absent from the list if midfield star man Riccardo Montolivo, which once again may mean he is in line for a senior call-up.
Donadoni names the 23-men he will be taking to Austria and Switzerland on Tuesday at 15:00 CET.
