Inter’s Bastoni & Barella Could Start For Italy Against Poland Tonight, Italian Media Report

Inter’s Alessandro Bastoni and Nicolo Barella may start for Italy against Poland in their Nations League clash tonight, according to a report from Italian media outlet FcInterNews earlier today.

The report details how the Azzurri can return to the top of Group 1 of the Nations League should they beat a Poland side featuring Bayern Munich’s Robert Lewandowski tonight.

Nerazzurri defender Danilo D’Ambrosio is disqualified and so cannot feature, and Roberto Gagliardini was sent home after an inconclusive Covid-19 test, leaving only two Inter players in the Azzurri squad.

Both Alessandro Bastoni and Nicolo Barella could start in the clash, an important game for Italy.

The 21-year-old Bastoni made his senior debut for the Azzurri last week in the friendly win over Estonia and will be hoping for his first competitive appearance tonight.

The 23-year-old Barella has made 16 appearances since his debut in 2018, scoring four goals and providing three assists in that time.

Probable Italy line-up (4-3-3): Donnarumma; Florenzi, Alessandro Bastoni, Acerbi, Emerson Palmieri; Locatelli, Jorginho, Nicolo Barella; Bernardeschi, Belotti, Insigne.
