Liverpool midfielder Alberto Aquilani could fail to make Italy's final 23-man squad for the 2010 World Cup, according to Calciomercato.it.
The player spent the first part of the season out with a serious ankle injury, and has since only made eight appearances in the Premier League and has yet to play a full match under coach Rafa Benitez, who seems to prefer Steven Gerrard, Javier Mascherano, and Lucas in central midfield.
Having featured inconsistently for the English outfit after his £20 million move from Roma in the summer, the latest reports in Italy suggest he will be overlooked by coach Marcello Lippi for the upcoming friendly with Cameroon and potentially the World Cup as well if he does not become a regular at Anfield.
The 25-year-old missed the 1-0 loss to Arsenal on Wednesday, suffering from a virus. The player has 11 caps for the Azzurri in his career, scoring twice during that time.
