Mario Balotelli has not been included in Italy's squad for Euro 2016

Mario Balotelli has been left out of Italy's squad for this summer's European Championship.

The Liverpool forward, who spent the 2015-16 season on loan at AC Milan, was not included in the provisional squad announced by head coach Antonio Conte last week as he was due to play in the Coppa Italia final against Juventus.

But Conte has now included players from AC Milan, Juventus and other teams who were involved in cup finals at the weekend in his squad, with Balotelli and veteran midfielder Andrea Pirlo notable absentees.

From the Premier League, Southampton forward Graziano Pelle, Manchester United right-back Matteo Darmian and West Ham centre-back Angelo Ogbonna have all been included.

A statement from the Italian football federation said Conte, who will take over at Chelsea following the finals in France, will name his final 23-man squad for Euro 2016 on May 31.

Italy host Scotland in a pre-tournament friendly in Malta on Sunday, and then face Finland on June 6 in Verona.
