The Bologna defender will play against Albania tonight, and after two friendly appearances at the start of June, he will make his competitive debut in a blue shirt.

Spalletti wants to return the Juventus player to the right side because he is at his best in this path. Behind the striker, on the left of centre, he was not convincing. The team will be completed by the wingers Di Lorenzo, preferred over Bellanova and Cambiasso, and Demarco. The Napoli player and Inter will alternate in the attacking phase.
