These sides both lost their World Cup play-off semi-finals, Italy 1-0 to North Macedonia and Turkey 3-1 in Portugal.

So this is a consolation that provides no consolation at all and nobody wants to participate in, but the teams are getting €3m for it and the result counts towards their FIFA world ranking.

Roberto Mancini released Marco Verratti, Jorginho, Ciro Immobile, Lorenzo Insigne, Domenico Berardi, Gianluca Mancini, Luiz Felipe, Alessandro Florenzi and Matteo Politano.

Scamacca, Zaniolo and Manuel Locatelli were not available for the North Macedonia match due to injury, but are present this evening, while Giorgio Chiellini returns to the starting XI.

The only remaining figure who started in Palermo is goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma.

Turkey also transformed, as Burak Yilmaz retired from international duty after his missed penalty in the 3-1 defeat to Portugal, making Inter midfielder Hakan Calhanoglu the new captain.

Coach Stefan Kuntz also released Abdulkadir Omur, Serdar Aziz and Yusuf Yazici, changing to a 3-4-3 system that had worked well in the second half of the play-off.

Other familiar faces include Atalanta defender Merih Demiral, Kaan Ayhan and Mert Muldur of Sassuolo and ex-Roma winger Cengiz Under.
