Italy's interim coach Luigi Di Biagio has named his squad for the upcoming friendlies, with Juventus goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon returning despite previously announcing his retirement.
Buffon heads the list of goalkeepers called up for the game, ably supported by Mattia Perin of Genoa and AC Milan youngster Gianluigi Donnarumma.
Midfielder Giacomo Bonaventura receives his first call-up since November 2016 when he was included in the squad for the games against Liechtenstein and Germany.
AC Milan youngster Patrick Cutrone is rewarded for his impressive recent form with a first call-up up front, though he faces a challenge to dislodge the likes of Ciro Immobile and Andrea Belotti. Fiorentina's Federico Chiesa also receives his maiden 'Azzurri' call.
The full squad is as follows:
Goalkeepers: Gianluigi Buffon (Juventus), Gianluigi Donnarumma (Milan), Mattia Perin (Genoa); Defenders: Leonardo Bonucci (Milan), Giorgio Chiellini (Juventus), Matteo Darmian (Manchester United), Mattia De Sciglio (Juventus), Gian Marco Ferrari (Sampdoria), Alessandro Florenzi (Roma), Daniele Rugani (Juventus), Leonardo Spinazzola (Atalanta), Davide Zappacosta (Chelsea); Midfielders: Giacomo Bonaventura (Milan), Bryan Cristante (Atalanta), Roberto Gagliardini (Inter), Jorge Luiz Frello Jorginho (Napoli), Marco Parolo (Lazio), Lorenzo Pellegrini (Roma), Marco Verratti (Paris Saint Germain); Forwards: Andrea Belotti (Torino), Antonio Candreva (Inter), Patrick Cutrone (Milan), Federico Chiesa (Fiorentina), Ciro Immobile (Lazio), Lorenzo Insigne (Napoli), Simone Verdi (Bologna).
