Spalletti tested the strike partnership during a training session behind closed doors on Wednesday.

It is confirmed that Sandro Tonali will start at the Parc des Princes, making his first international appearance since September 2023.

Samuele Ricci and Davide Frattesi should join the Newcastle midfielder in the middle of the park.

There are mixed reports on Alessandro Bastoni, who has recovered from muscle fatigue. The Inter star was expected to rest against France but was included in the starting line-up tested at Coverciano on Wednesday.
