Italys preliminary squad-
Goalkeepers: Gianluigi Buffon (Juventus), Morgan De Sanctis (Napoli), Federico Marchetti (Cagliari), Salvatore Sirigu (Palermo)
Defenders: Salvatore Bocchetti and Domenico Criscito (Genoa), Leonardo Bonucci (Bari), Fabio Cannavaro, Giorgio Chiellini, Fabio Grosso and Nicola Legrottaglie (all Juventus), Mattia Cassani (Palermo), Christian Maggio (Napoli), Gianluca Zambrotta (Milan)
Midfielders: Mauro German Camoranesi, Antonio Candreva and Claudio Marchisio (all Juventus), Andrea Cossu (Cagliari), Gennaro Gattuso and Andrea Pirlo (AC Milan), Riccardo Montolivo (Fiorentina), Angelo Palombo (Sampdoria), Simone Pepe (Udinese)
Forwards: Marco Borriello (AC Milan), Antonio Di Natale (Udinese), Alberto Gilardino (Fiorentina), Vincenzo Iaquinta (Juventus), Giampaolo Pazzini (Sampdoria), Fabio Quagliarella (Napoli)
only Di Rossi is missing with a knock who should feature.

No Aqualani

Aquilani was never going to be picked considering how much he played this season.
That squad list above is for a 2 day training camp in Rome, not the official WC squad.
De Rossi not in it due to Coppa Italia fixture with Inter.
Also Totti could still be named, Azzurri really lacking flair and creativity. Pirlo has has a poor season, Marchisio is doing well at Juve but it's a big stage perhaps too early in his career.
Very disappointing to see Borriello & Quagliarella, who both done nothing this season.
Lippi should be taking Cassano and Miccoli (who has had 2 top seasons with Palermo)
