Italy coach Prandelli says Roma's Totti in thoughts

Italy coach Cesare Prandelli admits he's monitoring the form of AS Roma veteran Francesco Totti. Totti hasn't played for his country since the 2006 World Cup Final, but the 37-year-old is still pulling the strings for surprise Serie A leaders Roma.

"Players with great talent like Francesco, like Parma's Antonio Cassano, are always under observation," said Prandelli.

"We'll evaluate Totti a month before the World Cup. But a Totti like this is a player to talk about, to reflect upon, it is a fantastic Totti.

"If the World Cup was today then I would absolutely call him up, there is no doubt about that."
