Giacomo Raspadori starts alongside Sandro Tonali, playing behind Mateo Retegui in Italy`s official lineup against Norway. The national team coach confirmed morning speculation by fielding the number 10 from the start instead of Davide Frattesi. The rest of the lineup is as expected, with debutant Coppola at the heart of the defense, tasked with the challenging job of stopping Erling Haaland.
