Mancini: Balotelli's return to the Italy squad is not due to a desperate situation

  Balotelli   is one of 35 players who have gathered in Florence with the opportunity to impress and make the Italy squad for when the   Azzurri play their crucial   World Cup   playoff against North Macedonia in March.

"The door of the national team is always open to everyone and if there are players who can help us, we are happy. "Maybe when we're desperate we bring out our best, but I don't think this situation is desperate."
