Latest Italy vs Israel team information
Having settled on a preferred formation and stopped short of making any changes, Italy coach Luciano Spalletti was forced to tweak his winning lineup on Monday due to the suspension of Lorenzo Pellegrini. Striker Nicolo Zaniolo, Pellegrini's former Roma teammate, has been called up as a replacement, but his chances of playing are slim due to fitness issues this season.
Striker Federico Chiesa is also unavailable for the same reason, while Zaniolo's Atalanta teammates Gianluca Scamacca and Giorgio Scalvini are also long-term absentees. Fiorentina's Nicolo Barella and Moise Kean are also unavailable, leaving Spalletti open to handing his debut to Daniel Maldini - who follows in the footsteps of Azzurri legends Paolo and Cesare Maldini. However, Giacomo Raspadori looks the more likely candidate to partner Mateo Retegui up front.
Israel, on the other hand, will be without captain Eli Dasa, young striker Dor Turgeman and Leeds United winger Manor Solomon due to hamstring injuries. Oscar Gloukh and Omri Gandelman could provide cover for the visitors' lone striker, Philadelphia Union star Tai Baribo.
Latest expected lineup for Italy vs Israel
Italy:
Donnarumma; Di Lorenzo, Bastoni, Calafiori; Cambiaso, Fagioli, Ricci, Tonali, Dimarco; Raspadori, Retegui
Israel:
Glazer; Feingold, Nachimas, Shlomo; Abada, Abu Fani, Kanichowsky, Leidner; Gloukh, Gandelman; Baribo
Latest Italy vs Israel football commentary
After conceding their first goal of the Nations League campaign against France, Italy got off to an impressive start in a 2-2 draw with Belgium. Andrea Cambiaso opened the scoring for the Azzurri after just one minute at the Stadio Olimpico after 18 passes. Mateo Retegui then made it 2-0 with a close-range finish. However, things changed when VAR intervened and Lorenzo Pellegrini was shown a straight red card, leading to Belgium scoring from the resulting free-kick to equalise.
Despite the defeat, Italy still top Group 2 with a point, maintaining a positive mood after a strong start to September, when they beat France and Israel. Ahead of Monday's match against Israel, they are looking for a third win in four Nations League games this season.
Israel are struggling after moving their tournament to Hungary due to the conflict in the Middle East. They have lost all three of their games on neutral ground, with their most recent defeat coming 4-1 to France. Ran Ben Shimon's side are currently third and in danger of relegation, having picked up no points in Group 2.
Despite winning just two of their last ten games, Israel will be hoping to spring an upset against Italy, who have scored in every game this season, although they could face a fourth straight defeat in Group 2 against an Italy side that have been slowly picking up form since the Euros.
