Team News
Spain look set to recall Saul Niguez, Marco Ascensio and Hector Bellerin against the Italians, who were all unused substitutes in the win over Serbia. No injury concerns for Albert Celades and his squad.
Italy will be without creative force, Domenico Berardi, and Andrea Conti, who are both suspended due to receiving their 2nd bookings of the tournament, who will be a huge miss for the Italians.
