Of course, due to various injuries, key players such as Lorenzo Pellegrini and Nicolo Zaniolo  are forced to make changes. This is how he called for the first time the new star of Torino, Tomaso Pobega, for whom the best are said…

The European champions are level with the Swiss in the 3rd group with 14 points, but are at the top due to a better goal difference, before the meeting of the two teams at the "Olympico" in Rome.

The winner will have the advantage of securing a direct "ticket" to Qatar, with one game left afterwards, and the two teams drew 0-0 in Basel in September.

The loser will ... compromise with a place in the play-offs, a process with bad memories for Italy, after the exclusion from Sweden during the qualifiers of the 2018 World Cup.

"We have to be calm in preparing for this important game," Mancini told a news conference. "The games with Switzerland are always difficult and will be on Friday as well. If we play like in the first game, we can get a great result, but I think we can do even better. It will be an important match. "

Mancini revealed that Pellegrini and Zaniolo  are at home with the injured, while the condition of midfielder Nicolo Barella will be monitored after a blow he received. Among the guests of Roberto Mancini is for the first time the midfielder of Torino, Tomaso Pobega.
