The Nazionale are in the same 2022 World Cup qualifying group as Switzerland, Northern Ireland, Bulgaria and Lithuania.
They opened with Thursday’s 2-0 victory over Northern Ireland, with goals from Domenico Berardi and Ciro Immobile.
Since that game, Berardi, Francesco Caputo and Giorgio Chiellini have pulled out, with Jorginho, Bryan Cristante and Moise Kean injured.
Francesco Acerbi steps in for Chiellini, with Leonardo Spinazzola replacing Emerson Palmieri at left-back.
Barella and Stefano Sensi complete the midfield, with Federico Chiesa and Andrea Belotti joining Lorenzo Insigne in the trident.
Bulgaria lost their opening World Cup qualifier 3-1 at home to Switzerland, going 3-0 down in the first 15 minutes.
Spezia striker Andrey Galabinov and former Cagliari man Kiril Despodov are some of the familiar names.
Curiously, Italy have never won a competitive game away to Bulgaria, managing three draws and a 3-2 defeat in April 1968.
The stalemates were 2-2 in March 2015, 2-2 in September 2012 and 0-0 in October 2008.
Italy are unbeaten in 23 official matches, winning 18 of them and keeping 16 clean sheets.
