Northern Ireland – who already knew they had to do without two of their biggest stars in captain Conor Bradley and defender Daniel Ballard – are also missing Ali McCann in midfield. The Preston midfielder hasn’t recovered in time from an injury picked up recently against Coventry City. Ballard’s Sunderland team-mate Trai Hume assumes captaincy duties. It’s a young team, with only Paddy McNair, 31 next month, over the age of 24.
Italy meanwhile are buoyed by the news that Sandro Tonali is fit to start. Riccardo Calafiori comes back into the side, while Moise Kean and Mateo Retegui pair up at the sharp end.
