Head coach Carmine Nunziata named a relatively rotated side for the 1-1 draw with Spain, knowing that both teams had already qualified for the knock-outs ahead of kick-off.
He is expected to revert to a line-up similar to the ones he named for the opening two matches of the tournament against Germany, and is expected to call upon the likes of Casadei, Baldanzi and Wilfried Gnonto in attack.

Evan Ferguson is impressing his boss in training as he hopes for a loan debut with Roma. The Albion striker kicked off his stint in Italy with a flurry of goals. While things have settled down since then, he is said to be impressing boss Gian Luigi Gasperini. Ferguson has not really caught the eye in subsequent fixtures against tougher opponents, including Everton. But he is in the running for a role in the serious action. Roma kick off their Serie A season on Saturday when Bologna visit the Stadio Olimpico. Gasperini's satisfaction with the Republic of Ireland striker came to light amid transfer talk involving a colleague. Milan are keen on Artem Dovbyk, the Ukrainian centre-forward, with whom Ferguson is vying for a place. Read more...

Roma continue talks for Bailey, Echeverri and Fabio Silva
Roma remain very active on the market. Giallorossi sporting director Frederic Massara must seek to strengthen the attack as quickly as possible for an increasingly impatient Gasperini. The new name is that of Leon Bailey, who played a key role in Roma's defeat to Aston Villa in the recent friendly. The Jamaican winger is valued at around €30 million and can be adapted to the left. At the same time, La Gazzetta dello Sport reports that Massara has resumed contact with City for Echeverri. The Giallorossi are considering the possibility of bringing him on a dry loan. Finally, there's the possibility of Fabio Silva, who already has an agreement with Roma. The agreement between the Giallorossi and Wolves is still pending.
