But the Azzurri CT has doubts in the middle, as Jorginho joined the retreat at Coverciano after having been isolated due to contact with positive teammates at Chelsea.
The Brazilian-born midfielder might not be in his best shape and could be replaced by Inter midfielder Stefano Sensi.
Sensi’s teammate Nicolò Barella seems the only certainty in the midfield trident, as Roma midfielder Lorenzo Pellegrini puts up a fight with his Giallorossi colleague Nicolò Zaniolo for the last place.
Alessandro Florenzi should start at right-back and Cristiano Biraghi at left, with Leonardo Bonucci and Giorgio Chiellini in the middle.
Bosnia will arrive without Barcelona midfielder Miralem Pjanic, who tested positive for coronavirus in August and was unable to join the national team.
Roma captain Edin Dzeko is expected to start up front, as coach Dusan Bajevic gets his debut in the UEFA Nations League.
Italy (probable): Donnarumma; Florenzi, Bonucci, Chiellini, Biraghi; Pellegrini, Sensi, Barella; Chiesa, Belotti, Insigne
Bosnia (probable): Sehic; Kvrzic, Sunjic, Bicakcic, Kolasinac; Besic, Cimirot, Gojak; Visca, Dzeko, Duljevic
