Team news & squads

Netherlands team news

Memphis Depay and Matthijs de Ligt miss out through injury.

That would suggest that Ronald Koeman may deploy Wout Weghorst or Steven Bergwijn at the tip of the attack after a below-par performance by Liverpool's Cody Gakpo against Croatia.

The Dutch boss will also likely give opportunities to Sven Botman, Tyrell Malacia and Marten De Roon - perhaps even from the first whistle.

Netherlands possible XI: Bijlow; Dumfries, Van Dijk, Botman, Malacia; De Roon, De Jong; Bergwijn, Koopmeiners, Simons; Weghorst

PositionPlayers
Goalkeepers:Bijlow, Flekken, Noppert
Defenders:Ake, Blind, Botman, Dumfries, Geertruida, Malacia, Timber, Van Dijk
Midfielders:De Jong, De Roon, Koopmeiners, Lang, Reijnders, Veerman, Wieffer, Wijnaldum
Forwards:Bergwijn, Gakpo, Malen, Simons, Weghorst

Italy team news

Roberto Mancini could also make some changes to his side, as Mateo Retegui may be rewarded for his recent showings with a start ahead of Ciro Immobile.

The Italy boss will also likely revert to a 4-3-3 set-up with Wilfried Gnonto and Giacomo Raspadori joining the attack.

The changes could be limited, with Marco Verratti and Lorenzo Pellegrini keeping their places in the middle, while Davide Frattesi's knee problem will likely rule him out of contention.

Alessandro Bastoni is also expected to be ruled out with a knock, as Matteo Darmian and Federico Dimarco are likely to start at the back.

Italy possible XI: Donnarumma; Darmian, Toloi, Acerbi, Dimarco; Barella, Verratti, Pellegrini; Zaniolo, Retegui, Raspadori

PositionPlayers
Goalkeepers:Donnarumma, Meret, Vicario
Defenders:Acerbi, Bonucci, Darmian, Di Lorenzo, Dimarco, Spinazzola, Toloi
