Interim coach Davide Baldini aims to maintain his perfect record as the young Italian national team faces Greece in an international friendly on Sunday evening. Baldini has selected a squad of 24 young players for the Azzurri, with only one player exceeding 22 years of age and just four having prior national team caps before this current international break.
Despite earlier reports of potential cancellation due to issues that reportedly displeased the Greek federation, the match is set to proceed as scheduled.
Italy secured a 1-0 victory against Luxembourg on Wednesday night, thanks to a goal from Inter’s Pio Esposito. Pre-match indications suggest that Baldini will largely retain the same team for the upcoming fixture against Greece.
According to Sky Sport Italia, Honest Ahanor from Atalanta might be introduced into the defense, and Jeff Ekhator of Genoa could feature in the attack. If these changes occur, Costantino Favasuli and Luigi Cherubini are the most likely to be moved from the starting lineup.
The match is scheduled to kick off at 20:00 BST.
