Italy Set to Release Squad

We're off to training in a few minutes, day two of training sessions with eleven people. First though, Italy will be releasing a squad for its upcoming friendly against Northern Ireland. The game is set to take place on June 6th, so the squad will probably be pretty similar (or exactly the same) to the one that Marcello Lippi will name for the Confederations Cup. Italy will also face fellow Confederations Cup team New Zealand in a friendly on June 10th.

The U.S. opens the Confederations Cup against Italy on June 15th. You can see the game live on ESPN.
