Prandelli says Italy World Cup squad wide open

Italy coach Cesare Prandelli says his World Cup squad is wide open.

Prandelli warned he still has a lot to consider before choosing his 23-man squad for Brazil 2014.

"We don't have the final World Cup squad yet. There are months to go in which I must evaluate, judge and reflect not just on technique, but also how they react to psychological setbacks and what their character is like.

"We all know that on an international level anyone who combines technique with strength can go far, whereas just technique is not enough. I have to give more of a chance to those with physical strength and stamina."
