It’s an experimental Italy against San Marino in Empoli, with Simone Scuffet winning his first cap.

Giampiero Ventura is without the Juventus contingent, as they face Real Madrid in the Champions League final on Saturday.

In addition, Milan centre-back Alessio Romagnoli is still recovering from a meniscus problem and isn’t fit enough to take part.

There’s therefore an unfamiliar look to the Azzurri, with Udinese goalkeeper Scuffet making his debut for the national team.
