Italy coach Roberto Donadoni has dropped experienced strikers Alessandro del Piero and Filippo Inzaghi from his squad for Saturday's Euro 2008 qualifier against Georgia.
Del Piero's omission comes following his lacklustre performance against France in midfield, while he was a late substitute in Juventus' draw at Fiorentina on Sunday.
Donadoni's decision to drop Inzaghi is a surprise, although the experienced striker is yet to open his Serie A account for Milan this season.
Italy squad:Marco Amelia (Livorno), Gianluigi Buffon (Juventus), Gianluca Curci (Roma); Andrea Barzagli (Palermo), Daniele Bonera (Milan), Giorgio Chiellini (Juventus), Alessandro Gamberini (Fiorentina), Fabio Grosso (Lyon), Massimo Oddo (Milan), Christian Panucci (Roma); Massimo Ambrosini (Milan), Daniele De Rossi (Roma), Gennaro Gattuso (Milan), Stefano Mauri (Lazio), Riccardo Montolivo (Fiorentina), Andrea Pirlo (Milan); Antonio Di Natale (Udinese), Vincenzo Iaquinta (Juventus), Pasquale Foggia (Cagliari), Cristiano Lucarelli (Shakhtar Donetsk), Fabio Quagliarella (Udinese), Luca Toni (Bayern Munich).
