Antonio Conte is juggling the 3-5-2 and the 4-4-2 formations for tonight's Italy-Norway game.
The Coach faces a substantial amount of injuries and defections as it is confirmed that Lazio's Marco Parolo will not play, along with the two star midfielders Marco Verratti and Andrea Pirlo.
The media are split with regards to the possible formations, with today's edition of La Gazzetta dello Sport pointing to a likely return to Conte's old Juventus formation, the 3-5-2.

This line-up would see Giorgio Chiellini, Andrea Barzagli and Leonardo Bonucci hold the backline, with Alessandro Florenzi, Riccardo Montolivo and Roberto Soriano take up the central midfielders' position ahead of them.
However Il Sole 24 Ore and Il Sussidiario both disagree, reporting that Conte will choose the 4-4-2.
Both sources believe that Andrea Bertolacci will start over Roberto Soriano.
Italy probable XI: Buffon; Chiellini, Bonucci, Barzagli; De Sciglio, Soriano, Montolivo, Florenzi, Darmian; Eder, Pelle.
