The Juventus forward has been a prodigious scorer at youth level, scoring four goals at last summer’s Under-19 European Championships.

He has two goals in three games for the Under-21s, and will be promoted to the senior squad for the friendly in Belgium.

“Two players from the Under-21s will arrive, Kean and Mancini,” Italy CT Roberto Mancini confirmed today.

Italy CT Roberto Mancini defends his decision to play young players in the Nations League - “if you never play it’s difficult”.

The Azzurri can still qualify for the finals if they beat Portugal tomorrow night, but they then need Poland to get a result in the final match.

That predicament is due to a slow start which saw a draw with the Poles, and defeat in Lisbon with a team featuring the likes of Manuel Lazzari, Mattia Caldara and Bryan Cristante.

Portugal Coach Fernando Santos declares “we’re not here to play on the counter-attack”, ahead of the crunch Nations League game with Italy.
