Mario Balotelli and Andrea Pirlo have been recalled to the Italy squad for the games against Estonia and the Republic of Ireland.
The two players had been missing from Azzurri service for one reason or another in recent times, but they are among the 25 players picked by Cesare Prandelli.
Roma's Daniele De Rossi has again been omitted though, perhaps as punishment for his recent dismissal at Bari which saw him handed a three-match ban.
