Donadoni names new-look Italy squad

Italy coach Roberto Donadoni has rested his World Cup winners for this week's friendly against Croatia.

Donadoni, who took the reins from Marcello Lippi following Italy's success in Germany this summer, has opted to give the less-established players a chance to shine and named a new-look squad that includes only one World Cup player - goalkeeper Marco Amelia.
Fiorentina's new signing Massimo Gobbi and Gennaro Delvecchio of Sampdoria are perhaps the biggest surprises with Cristiano Lucarelli expected to lead the attack in Leghorn next Wednesday.

Squad:
Goalkeepers: Marco Amelia (Livorno), Flavio Roma (Monaco)

Defenders: Daniele Bonera (AC Milan), Giorgio Chiellini (Juventus), Giulio Falcone (Sampdoria), Manuel Pasqual (Fiorentina), Christian Terlizzi (Palermo), Luciano Zauri (Lazio), Cristian Zenoni (Sampdoria);

Midfielders: Massimo Ambrosini, Gennaro Delvecchio (Sampdoria), Massimo Gobbi, Fabio Liverani (both Fiorentina), Stefano Morrone (Livorno), Angelo Palombo (Sampdoria), Franco Semioli (Chievo)

Strikers: Andrea Caracciolo, David Di Michele (both Palermo), Antonio Di Natale (Udinese), Mauro Esposito (Cagliari), Cristiano Lucarelli (Livorno), Tommaso Rocchi (Lazio).
