Italy start Jorginho, Manuel Locatelli, Domenico Berardi, Ciro Immobile and Lorenzo Insigne in their final pre-Euro 2020 friendly against the Czech Republic.

It kicks off at the Stadio Dall’Ara in Bologna at 19.45 UK time (18.45 GMT).

The Azzurri prepare to open the tournament on June 11 against Turkey, as part of a group also including Switzerland and Wales.

Marco Verratti is still recovering from a knee injury, but Stefano Sensi’s latest muscular relapse ruled the Inter midfielder out of the Euros entirely.

He is replaced in the squad by Atalanta’s Matteo Pessina, but for this evening’s game – and probably against Turkey too – Jorginho is flanked by Nicolò Barella and Sassuolo’s Manuel Locatelli.

Ciro Immobile gets the nod upfront, with Domenico Berardi and Lorenzo Insigne, although Federico Chiesa is expected to get a run-out in the second half.

Italy have kept seven consecutive clean sheets, scoring 21 goals in that period, and are unbeaten since September 2018.

The Czech Republic will be in Group D with Croatia, England and Scotland, opening their campaign on June 14 in Glasgow.

Verona midfielder Antonin Barak and Sampdoria’s Jakub Jankto are familiar to Serie A viewers, with Patrik Schick and Matej Vydra on the bench.
