MILAN - Italy coach Cesare Prandelli says Antonio Cassano can help lead Italy's recovery from its World Cup disaster.
The Sampdoria striker was the inspiration as Italy came back to win 2-1 against Estonia on Friday. He scored the equalizer and then set up Leonardo Bonucci for the winner.
Before Prandelli's appointment, Cassano had been frozen out of the squad for two years by previous coach Marcello Lippi.
Prandelli told reporters on Saturday: "Cassano feels part of the squad now and that could make a big difference for us."
Italy returned to its Coverciano training base in Tuscany ahead of the match with the Faroe Islands on Tuesday.
The win in Tallinn was Italy's first in 2010 and snaps a run of seven games without a victory.
