As announced in the press conference before today's match, Roberto Mancini chooses Gigio Donnarumma to be in goal, and Mario Balotelli in attack.
Great enthusiasm and curiosity to see the 4-3-3 formation chosen, with Florenzi, Jorginho, and Pellegrini in the middle. A debut for Politano in left wing.
These are the players chosen for the first match of Mancini's Italy:
Italy: Donnarumma; Zappacosta, Bonucci, Romagnoli, Criscito; Florenzi, Jorginho, Pellegrini; Politano, Balotelli, Insigne.
Saudi Arabia: Alowais, Al-Harbi, Hassaqi, Othman, Alfaraj, Alshehri, Alshahrani, Otayf, Aljassam, Kanoo, Abu Radiyah.
