Italy CT Roberto Mancini raises fears over Italy fatigue and announces ‘four or five changes’ against Lithuania this evening.
Roma midfielder Lorenzo Pellegrini is in doubt for the game with a knee problem.

“We’ll play in a suburban field, but we all grew up and started playing in similar grounds, so we’ll settle in right away.”

Italy landed in Lithuania on Tuesday morning from Sofia, where they beat Bulgaria on Sunday.
“I’m worried because we’ll play the third game in a week, and we’re a little tired even due to the travels,” Mancini said.
“We are growing and improving. I think the collective is our strength. This excellent team spirit is important.
“I wish a bright future for the national team, full of success, and I hope Italian football can return to normal. We need the fans back in the stadiums.”
