Italy coach Marcello Lippi has revealed the first 13 names from his squad for the Confederations Cup.

Lippi unveiled a largely veteran group of players, none of whom were included in the 21-man squad for next week's friendly against Northern Ireland.

However, all but four of the group were in Italy's Euro 2008 squad, including captain Fabio Cannavaro, Udinese winger Simone Pepe, Fiorentina striker Alberto Gilardino and Juventus forward Vincenzo Iaquinta.

Lippi will announce his full 23-man squad for the tournament on June 4.

World champions Italy were drawn alongside five-time world champions Brazil, CONCACAF Gold Cup winners the United States and African Cup of Nations champions Egypt for the tournament, which begins on June 14 in South Africa.

Lippi's squad to face Northern Ireland includes eight uncapped players.

Inter Milan defender Santon, Siena midfielder Daniele Galloppa and strike duo Giuseppe Mascara (Catania) and Sergio Pellissier (Chievo) are among those included for the match in Pisa.

AC Milan midfielder Gennaro Gattuso has been named despite missing most of the season with a knee injury, but there is still no place for controversial frontman Antonio Cassano.
