Pio Esposito will start on the bench for Italy in their match against Bosnia.
The game is being billed as Italy’s most important in 12 years, aside from the Euro 2021 final at Wembley.
Gattuso Keeps Faith
Gattuso has settled on his starting eleven, sticking with the team that overcame Northern Ireland in the semi-final. Esposito will be available as an option from the bench, with his freshness potentially useful during the match.
Palestra will also start on the bench, offering further options for Gattuso.
Gattuso has opted for a classic 3-5-2 formation, avoiding any major changes from recent games.
The Starting Line-Up
Gianluigi Donnarumma will start in goal. The back three will consist of Mancini, Bastoni and Calafiori.
In midfield, Manuel Locatelli will anchor the team, with Barella and Tonali playing as central midfielders. Politano starts on the right wing, with Dimarco on the left.
Up front, Kean and Retegui will lead the line, with Retegui preferred to Esposito.
