Why not him? Mario Balotelli left out of latest Italy selection

West Ham defender Angelo Ogbonna, Manchester United full-back Matteo Darmian and Southampton striker Graziano Pelle are all included.

Mario Balotelli has been left out of Antonio Conte's 30-man Italy squad for a training camp ahead of Sunday's friendly against Scotland in Malta.

Liverpool striker Balotelli, who has spent the campaign on loan at AC Milan, misses out along with veteran playmaker Andrea Pirlo and forward Sebastian Giovinco, who both now ply their trade in Major League Soccer.
