Check out the latest team news from the Italy national team camp as Luciano Spalletti and his players prepare to take on Bosnia and Herzegovina in the final international friendly before the start of EURO 2024 next weekend.
Italy-Bosnia and Herzegovina: Kick-off time and team news
Kick-off is scheduled for 19.45 BST.
One of the two players in the Italy set-up with an injury concern is back-up goalkeeper Alex Meret. Lazio’s Ivan Provedel, who was included in Spalltti’s provisional 30-man squad, but was left out of the final 26 version, remains on standby.
Nicolo Barella is also still recovering from the muscular issue he has been carrying since the end of the season, but Spalletti believes that he will be fit enough to be involved for Italy’s EURO opener against Albania.
In terms of team selection, Spalletti is tipped to switch to a back three on Sunday evening, having fielded a four-man defence in the 0-0 against Turkey on Tuesday.
The CT confirmed that Alessandro Buongiorno is set to start in defence, and he is expected to be joined by Inter’s Matteo Darmian and Bologna’s Riccardo Calafiori.
Nicolo Fagioli and Arsenal veteran Jorginho are in line to start in a two-man midfield, while Lorenzo Pellegrini and Giacomo Raspadori are expected to line up in the advanced playmaker roles.
Gianluca Scamacca is likely to lead the line for the Azzurri tonight.
