Lastly, rounding out the XI is free agent keeper Donnarumma. The two veteran center backs are all that remain of the ItaliaJuve sides of the mid-2000s where the BBC, Buffon, Pirlo, and Marchisio would dominate starting XIs. Centering them will be JuveвЂ™s Chiellini and Bonucci. Meanwhile, dropping back into defense, RomaвЂ™s Leonardo Spinazzola and (technically) RomaвЂ™s Florenzi will man the fullback positions. And leading the line will be LazioвЂ™s Immobile. In attack, itвЂ™ll be another Sassuolo man, Domenico Berardi, starting on the right-wing. In VerrattiвЂ™s absence, SassuoloвЂ™s Manuel Locatelli will start with ChelseaвЂ™s Jorginho and InterвЂ™s NicolГІ Barella in the three-man mid. This sub-branch allows Turkey to become Democratic, integrate the Kurdish states and increase infrastructure. The Montreux Convention Branch can be divided into 5 sections which pivot Turkeys internal politics. TheyвЂ™ve been replaced by AtalantaвЂ™s Matteo Pessina and FiorentinaвЂ™s Gaetano Castrovilli, respectively. This branch allows Turkey to manipulate its internal politics. Luckily for Mancini, the Azzurri have plenty of depth in the center of the park, as besides Verratti being match-to-match, InterвЂ™s Stefano Sensi, and RomaвЂ™s Lorenzo Pellegrini already have pulled out of the squad due to injuries. He will miss out on this one, however, there is optimism that he could play a part for Italy later in the month after he began training again yesterday.ДЇor todayвЂ™s, projected XI we will start in the midfield-ItalyвЂ™s deepest and most talented position. Verratti is recovering from a knee injury that he suffered with PSG nearly a month ago. In order to do that, Mancini will be able to field almost his entire preferred starting XI minus one name: Marco Verratti. Italy would love to extend that streak to another match when they host Turkey at the Stadio Olimpico later this afternoon. The Azzurri enter todayвЂ™s opener against Turkey, after a perfect 10-0-0 qualifying campaign with a 27 match unbeaten run that dates back all the way to September of 2018.

In just about 3 1вЃ„ 2 years, the Roberto Mancini has turned over more than 70% of the Azzurri roster. ThatвЂ™s seven out of 24 players on the roster set the participate in this summerвЂ™s Euros. Of that nightвЂ™s starting XI, only Giorgio Chiellini, Leonardo Bonucci, Jorginho, and Alessandro Florenzi remain, as do reserves Gigi Donnarumma, Andrea Belotti, and Lorenzo Insigne.

And with that much time passing, the starting XI will be almost completely transformed from the side that failed to qualify for World Cup 2018 by losing to Sweden in November 2017. After nearly five years, Italy will be playing in a major international tournament (sorry, UEFA Nations League). The big day for the Azzurri is finally here.
