It’s not just on the field where there will be changes, but also on the bench, as coach Roberto Mancini is self-isolating at home after contracting COVID-19.

Therefore, his assistant and former Milan midfielder Alberico Evani will be taking charge for this evening, although it is hoped Mancini will be back in time for the Nations League matches against Poland and Bosnia-Herzegovina.

Because those fixtures are coming up, this friendly is a chance to test out players who wouldn’t normally get a start in the Azzurri jersey, along with some breaking their way in from the Under-21 squad, like Inter defender Alessandro Bastoni and Bologna midfielder Roberto Soriano.

Italy remain unbeaten in 19 games, since the 1-0 Nations League defeat in Portugal on September 10, 2018.

The Azzurri played Estonia six times and won all six, scoring 16 goals and conceding just two, although the most recent encounter was a Euro qualifier in June 2011.
