European Qualifiers: Italy recall Mario Balotelli for key Group H game against Croatia

Mario Balotelli

Mario Balotelli has been recalled to the Italy squad for next week's European Qualifier against Croatia.

The Liverpool striker is included for the first time since Antonio Conte succeeded Cesare Prandelli as manager in the wake of the World Cup.

Balotelli is yet to score in the Premier League for his new club but is part of a 26-man group for next Sunday's Group H game in Milan and a Genoa friendly against Albania two days later. ...SkySports
