With 100 days to go until the tournament kicks-off, Corriere dello Sport is reporting that two stalwarts of the national team could be left at home.
New York City FC’s Andrea Pirlo and Roma midfielder Daniele De Rossi are reportedly unlikely to make the final squad, as Conte looks at other options.
The World Cup-winners have 217 caps between them, but De Rossi has struggled with injury this season, while Pirlo is on a different schedule in Major League Soccer.
The newspaper further reports that Milan’s Mario Balotelli has no chance of securing the fifth striker slot in Conte’s squad, with the role likely to go to Federico Bernardeschi or Lorenzo Insigne.
