Juventus midfielder Claudio Marchisio and Genoa goalkeeper Mattia Perin will miss the championship because of injuries. Milan's Mario Balotelli will not be part of the team for the championship matches, which start on June 10. AC Milan captain Riccardo Montolivo and Paris St Germain midfielder Thiago Motta have been called up, but their physical condition still needs to be verified. That is not a huge surprise; Conte has named the mercurial striker only once since taking over in 2014. Italy manager Antonio Conte named his provisional squad for the European Championship on Monday, and his selection was notable as much for the player he left off as for those he chose.
