The report details how the 44-year-old Italian coach is planning to rest Italian forward Ciro Immobile, Ecuadorian striker Felipe Caicedo and Argentine Joaquin Correa in tomorrow’s fixture.

Italian wing back Manuel Lazzari will also not start, with Adam Marusic taking his place on the right side. Mohamed Fares will fill the empty left wing back slot.

Danilo Cataldi will be called up, although he’s expected to remain on the bench after recovering from a hamstring problem.

In defense will be Patric, Wesley Hoedt and Francesco Acerbi, with Pepe Reina in goal.

Thomas Strakosha, Luiz Felipe and Luis Alberto are all out injured still, and Lucas Leiva is suspended.
