Italy coach Roberto Donadoni says Sampdoria striker Antonio Cassano and Juventus veteran Alessandro del Piero are both in the frame for his Euro2008 squad.
"If he carries on like this I will take him into consideration for the future."
The future also looks brighter for Del Piero, who created and converted a penalty to seal a point for Juventus at Catania.
"I like Del Piero's attitude," Donadoni enthused. "I know that he is a second striker and it's time to think carefully about him.
"He criticised some of my tactical decisions? I appreciate the sincerity - it's better than silence."
