Roma academy graduate Niccolo Pisilli has been named in Italy’s starting line-up to face Belgium, in a surprise selection that gives him his first competitive start for the national team.
The midfielder has not featured at all for Italy under former manager Roberto Mancini, making his inclusion against Belgium an unexpected decision.
Italy’s match against Belgium will begin at the King Baudouin Stadium in Brussels at 19.45 GMT (20.45 CET).
The build-up and live action will be covered in a liveblog.
