Roberto Mancini is banking on Moise Kean and Nicolò Barella for Italy's next match against France. After the win against Turkey and the loss of Giacomo Raspadori, the Italian coach has decided to call up 23 of the 32 available players for the match against Zidane's Blues.
According to Corriere dello Sport, some players will remain in training at Coverciano, while Barella is expected to start alongside Mancini and Calafiori. Kayode and Bastoni are in strong contention for a return to the starting lineup. Up front, Kean is the only certainty, while Tonali could be rested for this match. The coach will still have to resolve some tactical doubts ahead of the match, which will pit Italy against an ever-competitive France.
