(Reuters) - Veteran Fiorentina midfielder David Pizarro was left out as Chile coach Jorge Sampaoli named a squad of 19 foreign-based players on Thursday for next month's World Cup warm-up match away to Germany.

Argentine Sampaoli also omitted Swedish-born defender Miiko Albornoz, who made his debut in last month's 4-0 win over Costa Rica.
