The Roma captain played his last game for the Azzurri in the 2006 World Cup final win over France two years ago. Following a season of uncertainty, he finally announced his retirement from international football last year.
However, following the return of Marcello Lippi as coach of the Azzurri, there have been reports that Totti, as well as Alessandro Nesta, may come out of international retirement ahead of the 2010 World Cup campaign.
Nesta yesterday made a statement in which he stressed that there was no chance of him making a comeback, referring to Italy as a “closed chapter”.
Totti though has not ruled out the possibility of returning.
“A return to the national team? We will see,” said the 31-year-old.
Totti’s first focus is to recover from injury after he snapped his anterior cruciate ligament during a match against Livorno at the end of April, and had to undergo surgery.
Er Pupone is being tipped to recover in time for Roma’s Italian SuperCup clash with Inter at the end of August.
