Lippi announced the list of players that will take part in the friendly international after the conclusion of this afternoon’s Serie A fixtures.
The former Juve coach was expected to choose a number of new players that he will experiment with in Athens on Wednesday and he did so, picking Gaetano D’Agostino and confirming Napoli’s Christian Maggio in the squad.
Luca Toni returns to the squad, as do Mauro Camoranesi and Vincenzo Iaquinta. The injured Gianluigi Buffon, Andrea Pirlo, Antonio Di Natale and Alberto Aquilani were obviously left out of the squad.
The Greece match will be the last for the Azzurri this year before an interesting match up between the Italians and Brazil in London next year in the month of February.
Lippi will be looking to integrate a few new players into the team in order to prepare for the 2010 World Cup to be held in South Africa.
Here is the full list of players:
Goalkeepers: Curci (Siena), De Sanctis (Galatasaray);
Defenders: Bonera (Milan), F. Cannavaro (Real Madrid), Chiellini (Juventus), Dossena (Liverpool), Gamberini (Fiorentina), Grosso (Lyon), Legrottaglie (Juventus);
Midfielders: Camoranesi (Juventus), D'Agostino (Udinese), De Rossi (Roma), Gattuso (Milan), Maggio (Napoli), Montolivo (Fiorentina), Perrotta (Roma);
Strikers: Gilardino (Fiorentina), Iaquinta (Juventus), Pepe (Udinese), Quagliarella (Udinese), G. Rossi (Villarreal), Toni (Bayern Munich).
