Italy coach Cesare Prandelli: Door is open for Antonio Di Natale & Francesco Totti

The veteran duo remain key figures at Udinese and Roma respectively and there have been mounting calls for them to be recalled by the Azzurri boss



Italy coach Cesare Prandelli insists that Antonio Di Natale and Francesco Totti will be considered for selection for Euro 2012 but admitted that he hopes to have both Antonio Cassano and Giuseppe Rossi back in time for the tournament.

Di Natale and Totti both remain key figures at their respective clubs, Udinese and Roma, and there have been mounting calls for both players to be recalled to the national team set-up. Prandelli has already intimated that Di Natale will be given his chance to impress in the run-up to Euro 2012, while the Azzurri boss insists that Totti is more than welcome to reverse his decision to retire from international football. The former Fiorentina coach told Sky Sport24: "The door is open to all."Italy are currently short on quality up front, with Rossi currently out of action with a knee injury and Cassano still recovering from a heart operation back in November.However, Prandelli is optimistic that both strikers will be present in Poland and Ukraine this summer."Giuseppe Rossi is recovering and I hope to have both him and Antonio Cassano for the European Championships," the 54-year-old Italian declared. Italy have been drawn in the same group as reigning world and European champions Spain, the Republic of Ireland and Croatia. - http://www.goal.com/
