Italy manager Roberto Mancini will hope to get his second spell in charge back up to speed with a Nations League clash in Turkey.
Mancini’s first game back in charge ended with a disappointing home defeat to Belgium in the week.
Turkey were also beaten by France so both sides are in need of the win.
Turkey coach Vincnenzo Montella scored three times for the Italian national team across 20 appearances in his playing career and will be looking to make an impact once again.

Turkey goalkeeper Ugurkan Cakir was sent off against France so misses out.
Key men Hakan Calhanoglu and Kenan Yildiz – who both play in Italy – are also out.
Italy have Alex Bastoni back from suspension but Manuel Locatelli and Bryan Cristante are injured.

Turkey: Cakir; Celik, Demiral, Bardakci; Aydin, Ozcan, Yuksek, Kadioglu; Guler, Akturkoglu; Yilmaz
Italy: Donnarumma; Kayode, Mancini, Bastoni, Calafiori; Barella, Tonali, Frattesi; Cambiaghi, P. Esposito, Raspadori
