Parma midfielder Daniele Galloppa is disappointed not to be in Italy's squad this week.

"It would've certainly been nice to be part of the Azzurri squad, especially for Wednesday night's game against Cyprus here at the Tardini," said Galloppa.

"In any case, it will give me more incentive to keep giving my best. That's the only way I can convince the Coach to call me up in future."
