Udinese veteran Antonio di Natale expects Liverpool striker Mario Balotelli to make Italy's Euro 2016 squad.

Balotelli has never played for Italy coach Antonio Conte.

“When he played against us [in September's Milan-Udinese, 3-2] he was impressive," Di Natale told La Gazzetta dello Sport.

“He's beyond discussion, he knows how to get things done.

“I think he'll end up going because he's strong, even though [Coach Antonio] Conte is right when he says that a couple of games aren't enough."
