Mario Balotelli was overlooked by Italy coach Roberto Mancini for the upcoming World Cup playoffs, with 30-year-old Cagliari striker Joao Pedro given his first call-up to the squad instead.
La hora de la verdad ha llegado para Italia. La Azzurra se jugará a partir de la semana que viene la repesca ante Macedonia (24 de marzo en Palermo) y, si triunfa, ante el ganador del Portugal-Turquía (29 de marzo en Oporto o Konya). Los italianos deben evitar la hecatombe que supondría perderse dos Mundiales seguidos y ya conocen los hombres que intentarán cumplir esa misión. Al final, Roberto Mancini no convocó a Mario Balotelli a pesar de los 12 goles y seis asistencias que sumó en el Adana Demirspor turco. 'Supermario' confesó varias veces el deseo de volver a vestirse de azzurro por primera vez desde 2018, pero le tocará seguir esperando. En la lista del seleccionador, no obstante, sí hubo sorpresas, como las presencias del defensa Luiz Felipe (Lazio) y del delantero Joao Pedro (Cagliari), ambos brasileños con pasaporte italiano. Regresan, además, Mattia Zaccagni, Matteo Politano, Stefano Sensi y Pierluigi Gollini. El juventino Manuel Locatelli, positivo en covid, se juntará al resto de sus compañeros una vez terminado su aislamiento.
