United States-born forward Giuseppe Rossi was left off Italy's final 23-man squad for the World Cup on Saturday. Coach Cesare Prandelli apparently judged that Rossi hadn't fully recovered from his latest right knee injury in January.
It was likely a difficult decision since Rossi has always been one of Prandelli's favorite players. Napoli forward Lorenzo Insigne was selected instead. Rossi played 71 minutes in Italy's 0-0 draw with Ireland on Saturday but failed to make much of an impact.
