Italy's friendly with Sweden on Wednesday may be remembered more for the players missing than the match's participants.
Italy coach Marcello Lippi sent home Gianluigi Buffon, Fabio Cannavaro, Gianluca Zambrotta and Andrea Pirlo after Saturday's 0-0 draw with the Netherlands, while Sweden is without forward Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who is taking a break from the national team to decide if he wants to continue playing for his country.
