Veteran Italy Trio Join Buffon in Retiring From Azzurri Duty After World Cup Failure

Veteran Italy trio Giorgio Chiellini, Daniele de Rossi and Andrea Barzagli have joined legendary goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon in calling time on their international careers following Italy's failure to qualify for the 2018 World Cup.

Monday night's 0-0 draw with Sweden in Milan was enough for the Swedes to preserve a slender 1-0 aggregate from the first leg of the playoff contest, with the Scandinavians booking their place on the global stage in Russia at the expense of the four-time champions.
