Nations League: Turkey vs. Italy – probable line-ups, where to watch on TV

Alessandro Bastoni returns to the Italy XI and Matteo Ruggeri is expected to make his Azzurri debut as Roberto Mancini meets his former Sampdoria teammate Vincenzo Montella in a Nations League game against Turkey.

It kicks off at 20:45 CET [19:45 BST] at the Atatürk Spor Kompleksi in Bursa, Turkey.

Both Italy and Turkey lost their opening Nations League game on Friday. The Azzurri suffered a 2-0 home loss to Belgium, while Turkey lost 1-0 at home to France.

Italy CT Mancini has left ten players in Coverciano, including Nicolò Barella, Gianluca Mancini and Diego Coppola, who had started against Belgium last week.

Multiple sources, including Sky Sport, report that Aston Villa defender Ruggeri is expected to start as a left-back, making his first international appearance with the Azzurri, while Bastoni will return to the XI after serving a one-game ban against Belgium.

Sandro Tonali and Davide Frattesi are expected to start in central midfield, while Nicolò Fagioli challenges Issa Doumbia for the third slot.

Francesco Pio Esposito is the favourite over Moise Kean in a three-man attack, which is likely to be completed by Giacomo Raspadori and Nicolò Cambiaghi.
