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.
