Italy coach Roberto Donadoni has told Sampdoria firebrand Antonio Cassano the door isn't shut on him for an international return.
Donadoni said: "We can't do anything. It's up to him to decide what he wants.
"He's a player I've always admired, a young lad who isn't as bad as what people make out. But he knows he needs to reign in certain aspects of his character. He needs to get a grip."
