Italy confirm Graziano Pelle and Eder upfront while Stephan El Shaarawy could return on the wing.
Coach Antonio Conte continues his policy of calling the most 'moral' players rather than the biggest stars, as Italy face the Belgians in Brussels tonight at 19:45 UK time.
With Andrea Pirlo and Marco Verratti both unavailable, the keys of the midfield will likely be handed to Claudio Marchisio and Marco Parolo.

Liverpool's Christian Benteke will be their lone striker.
