Italy squad expanded


Italy coach Roberto Donadoni on Friday added Gennaro Del Vecchio and Angelo Palombo to his squad for the first two matches of the world champions' Euro 2008 group B qualifying campaign.

Italy play Lithuania in Naples on Saturday then France on Wednesday in Paris.

The 28-year-old Del Vecchio, a midfielder, plays for Sampdoria as does 24-year-old central defender Palombo.

It means Donadoni's squad is now 26-strong.
