Austria are planning another change of tactics and potential ‘cage’ for Jorginho in the Euro 2020 clash with Italy.

The Round of 16 tie kicks off on Saturday at 20.00 UK time at Wembley Stadium.

Coach Franco Foda, whose father is Italian, is known for adapting to his opposition and used three different line-ups in the three group games.

After a three-man defence in the 3-1 win against North Macedonia and 2-0 defeat to the Netherlands, he switched to a 4-2-3-1 for the 1-0 victory over Ukraine.

Martin Hinteregger had been carrying a knock, but should be back in the starting XI this weekend.

According to Sky Sport Italia and La Gazzetta dello Sport, Austria are planning a 4-1-4-1 formation, with Florian Grillitsch acting as the buffer between defence and midfield.

There would also be a special task for Marcel Sabitzer, who is asked to man-mark Jorginho to close down the key cog in that Italy set-up.

David Alaba would move to left-back from central defence.

Marko Arnautovic should get the nod upfront rather than misfiring Sasa Kalajdzic.

Austria (probable): Bachmann; Lainer, Dragovic, Hinteregger, Alaba; Grillitsch; Laimer, Sabitzer, Schlager, Baumgartner; Arnautovic
