(Reuters) - Juventus coach Antonio Conte has complained about impolite behaviour by his Italy counterpart Cesare Prandelli after defender Giorgio Chiellini was called up for Wednesday's friendly against Spain.

Chiellini, one of seven Juventus players in the squad, has not played for three weeks because of a calf muscle injury and the Serie A champions said that they had planned to continue with his recovery this week.
