Italy Name Squad For England Clash

Last updated : 17 March 2018 By Three Lions

Gianluigi Buffon is included in the Azzuri party to face Argentina and England.

The veteran goalkeeper had announced his international retirement after Italy failed to qualify for Russia 2018 but interim coach Luigi Di Biagio is keen to have his experience on board and the 40-year-old looks set to add to his incredible 175 caps.

Italy face Argentine in Manchester on Friday evening before their Wembley outing against England the following Tuesday.

Mario Balotelli was not included in the squad despite impressive form for Nice while English-based players Matteo Darmian and Davide Zappacosta are named in the party.
