Locatelli, Cambiaso and Ekhator are sidelined by injury, while Gabbia and Gatti were omitted for tactical reasons. Mandragora makes a surprise return to the Azzurri after nearly five years away, while Zaniolo earns a recall despite suffering a right hamstring injury against Como on the opening weekend. Fagioli also returns after two years out.
