Toronto FC striker Sebastian Giovinco admits he's "upset" being ignored for Italy's Euros squad.

Italy coach Antonio Conte stated any player who chose to play in the MLS would face the "consequences".

"I was upset. I need to keep improving so I can find my place back on the national team," Giovinco told reporters in Canada today.

"I've said before, the league is continuing to grow and it's a beautiful league.

“As long as I continue to have fun then I'll keep playing in MLS."
