Antonio Cassano is in Italy's provisional Euro 2008 squad along with Alessandro Del Piero, while Roberto Donadoni has agreed a new contract with the FIGC.

Donadoni has opted to pick loose cannon Cassano and Capocannoniere Del Piero alongside Marco Borriello and the expected trio of Fabio Quagliarella, Antonio Di Natale and Luca Toni.

Lazio's Tommaso Rocchi and Milan veteran Pippo Inzaghi have missed out.
