Petit misses out on final
By Chris Borg

Midfielder Emmanuel Petit misses the final of Euro 2000 after failing to recover from a cold and fever.

The Arsenal star - who scored in France's World Cup Final triumph - will be replaced by Christophe Dugarry. Nicolas Anelka has to be content with a place on the bench as Youri Djorkaeff takes an advanced midfield position.

Italy boss Dino Zoff selects Marco Delvecchio to play up front with his AS Roma team-mate Francesco Totti.

Alessansdro del Piero and Filippo Inzaghi - both of whom played in the semi-final triumph against Holland - are both on the bench for the final, while Gianluca Pessotto takes the place of suspended Gianluca Zambrotta.
