Italy are preparing to face Northern Ireland. The Azzurri have been training in Bergamo in preparation for the match.
Bastoni Returns to Training
There is good news for Italy, with Alessandro Bastoni taking part in his first group session since the training camp began. The Inter defender has been working with the national team staff since Sunday morning to be ready for the match. He carried out the same exercises as his teammates and his chances of starting are looking increasingly likely.
Predicted Line-up Includes Mancini
The predicted line-up includes Donnarumma, with Mancini on the right-hand side and Calafiori on the left. Sandro Tonali is also back in the starting line-up, ready to start from the first minute following a knock he picked up against Barcelona in the Champions League. Joining him in midfield are Locatelli and Barella, forming a five-man midfield that will also include Dimarco and Politano.
Italy’s Potential Starting XI
Italy’s potential starting XI is predicted to be: Donnarumma; Mancini, Bastoni, Calafiori; Politano, Tonali, Locatelli, Barella, Dimarco; Retegui, Kean.
