Milan-owned striker Camarda, on loan at Lecce, scored his first goal at Under-21 level last week in the 4-0 victory over Sweden and leads the attack here.

Luca Koleosho, on loan at Espanyol from Burnley, and Sampdoria’s Luigi Cherubini complete the trident attack.

Coach Silvio Baldini hopes to maintain his 100 per cent record on the Italy Under-21 bench since taking the job in July, even with some rather unusual training practices.
