AC Milan defender Massimo Oddo accepts he has no chance of an Italy recall.

"Winning an Azzurri shirt for the World Cup Finals in South Africa is not part of my plans," he said. "I have already given a lot to the national side and I have received a lot in return.

"I don't think that I am in the plans of the Coach so I can calmly say that my cycle with the La Nazionale has come to an end."
