Parma (Italy), May 29: Andrea Ranocchia and Mattia Destro will miss out on the European Championship, while Leonardo Bonucci is retained in Italy's final 23-man squad on Tuesday.




Juventus defender Bonucci is reportedly being investigated for match-fixing but will travel with the squad to the tournament in Poland and Ukraine.

Italy coach Cesare Prandelli trimmed his provisional squad from 32 to 25 on Monday. One of the players axed was Zenit St. Petersburg defender Domenico Criscito, who was officially placed under investigation for possible match-fixing when at Genoa.

Siena striker Destro was left out, with five other forwards in the squad. Inter defender Ranocchia was the other man cut on the final day to submit squad lists to UEFA.

Italy's first match at Euro 2012 is against Spain on June 10.
