Italy go into their second Euro 2016 game against Sweden with only one new name compared to Belgium, say reports.

Coach Antonio Conte was expected to change up to three players to add fresh legs to the team that ran almost 120km on Monday.

The most recent reports, however, suggest he will only be changing Matteo Darmian on the left wing.

Italy go into their second Euro 2016 game against Sweden with only one new name compared to Belgium, say reports.

Coach Antonio Conte was expected to change up to three players to add fresh legs to the team that ran almost 120km on Monday.

The most recent reports, however, suggest he will only be changing Matteo Darmian on the left wing.

La Gazzetta dello Sport and Il Sole 24 Ore both expect Conte to replace the full-back with midfielder Alessandro Florenzi, otherwise keeping the same starting XI as he did against Belgium.

The International Business Times believes that Mattia De Sciglio will take Darmian's place, and not Florenzi, whilst Eurosport believes the Coach will field the exact same starters as he did in his first game.

There were some doubts about the fitness conditions of Graziano Pelle, but the player trained with the rest of the team for the past few days and will be available to play.

Italy probable XI: Buffon; Barzagli, Bonucci, Chiellini; Candreva, Parolo, De Rossi, Giaccherini, Florenzi; Eder, Pelle.
