Italy coach Antonio Conte says Palermo attacker Franco Vazquez is in his plans.

The Argentine qualifies for Italy and is keen to play for the Azzurri.

"I liked what he said, that an oriundo [foreign-born player eligible for Italy] shouldn't consider Italy as a fall-back option.

"We're not going to dismiss anyone, he has given maximum availability and we're watching him."
