There are many reasons why this is a largely unrecognisable Azzurri line-up, as COVID and injuries reduced the options, not to mention that most of the higher-profile players will only join up for the Nations League games against Poland and Bosnia-Herzegovina.

Even the coach is different, as Roberto Mancini is self-isolating at home after his Coronavirus diagnosis, so assistant manager Alberico Evani takes centre stage.

It is 21-year-old Inter defender Bastoni’s senior Italy debut, while Bologna midfielder Soriano’s eighth and most recent cap was all the way back in November 2015.

Inter full-back Danilo D’Ambrosio moves to a more central defensive role to fill the gaps, while there are also rare starts for Freiburg’s Vincenzo Grifo, Inter midfielder Roberto Gagliardini and Udinese striker Kevin Lasagna.

Estonia made the trip without injured Mattias Kait, but stick with their typical 4-4-1-1 formation.
