Luciano Spalletti chose Riccardo Calafiori. The Bologna defender will play against Albania tonight and, after two appearances in the friendly matches at the beginning of June, he will make his debut in an official match with the blue shirt. Alongside him there will be Bastoni, in a back pack that will be four in the non-possession phase and three in the setup phase. Calafiori’s left foot and his ability to enter (with and without the ball) could be decisive in disrupting Sylvinho’s rearguard.
STRETCHER RECOVERED
—
In midfield the good news is linked to Barella who, for the second day in a row, did the entire job with the team and was tested with the starters. The injury to the right rectus femoris suffered in Coverciano is part of the past. He will be the one to play alongside Jorginho. In the initial 4-2-3-1 behind Scamacca there will be Chiesa, Frattesi and Pellegrini. Reason? Spalletti wants to bring the Juventus player back to the right because he gives his best in that lane. Behind the striker, on the centre-left, he was not convincing. The team will be completed by the wingers Di Lorenzo, favored over Bellanova and Cambiaso, and Dimarco. The Neapolitan and the Inter player will take turns rising in the offensive phase.
FINISHING
—
Fagioli worked with the group yesterday and showed that he had overcome the discomfort in his knee, but his condition will be evaluated again this morning. In any case, the Juventus player will at most be on the bench.
