(ANSA) - Rome, May 17 - Major League Soccer stars Andrea Pirlo and Sebastian Giovinco were both left out of a four-day pre-Euro 2016 training camp announced by Italy coach Antonio Conte Monday.
    The Milan and Juventus players involved in the Italian Cup final Saturday were omitted apart from Leonardo Bonucci, who is disqualified - but Juve said they would not cede the player in any case, sparking a row with Conte.
    Daniele De Rossi makes his return to the Azzurri set-up for the May 18-21 camp.
    There are seven new faces: Tonelli, Pavoletti, Zappacosta, Benassi, Sportiello, Izzo and Cataldi.

    This warm-up session will include friendlies against Scotland in Malta on May 29 and against Finland in Verona on June 6, the last test before flying to Montpellier June 8.
    Italy play Belgium, Ireland and Sweden in the group stage of the Euros in France.
    Here is the list of those called up for the camp starting tomorrow: - goalkeepers: Federico Marchetti (Lazio), Antonio Mirante (Bologna), Marco Sportiello (Atalanta); - defenders: Francesco Acerbi (Sassuolo), Davide Astori (Fiorentina), Leonardo Bonucci (Juventus), Armando Izzo (Genoa), Angelo Obinze Ogbonna (West Ham), Lorenzo Tonelli (Empoli); - midfielders: Marco Benassi (Torino), Federico Bernardeschi (Fiorentina), Antonio Candreva (Lazio), Danilo Cataldi (Lazio), Daniele De Rossi (Roma), Lorenzo De Silvestri (Sampdoria), Stephan El Shaarawy (Roma), Alessandro Florenzi (Roma), Emanuele Giaccherini (Bologna), Jorge Luiz Jorginho (Napoli), Marco Parolo (Lazio), Roberto Soriano (Sampdoria), Davide Zappacosta (Torino); - forwards: Fabio Borini (Sunderland), Citadin Martins Eder (Inter), Ciro Immobile (Torino), Lorenzo Insigne (Napoli), Leonardo Pavoletti (Genoa), Graziano Pellè (Southampton).
