Italy give Guglielmo Vicario his competitive debut against Israel, bottom of the Nations League, with Giacomo Raspadori and Mateo Retegui at the helm.

Kick-off takes place at 7.45pm UK time (6.45pm GMT) at the Bluenergy Stadium in Udine.

The Azzurri ended their 100 percent Nations League record with a 2-2 draw against Belgium, having been leading 2-0 until Lorenzo Pellegrini’s red card.

As a result of this dismissal, Pellegrini is suspended and Nicolò Zaniolo has been called up in his place, but Napoli striker Raspadori starts in support of Serie A’s Capocannoniere Retegui.

The defense remains intact, but Tottenham Hotspur goalkeeper Vicario is making his competitive debut after two friendlies in his hometown of Udine.

Juventus midfielder Nicolò Fagioli comes on for Torino’s Samuele Ricci.

Israel is at the bottom with three defeats out of three, but has scored in all defeats, including the 2-1 loss to Italy last month.

They are missing the injured Omri Gandelman, Miguel Vitor, Shawn Goldberg, Eli Dasa and Roy Revivo, while Dean David has asked to be left out if he could not be guaranteed more playing time.
