Italy coach Mancini: Will Regetui start against Holland

Italy coach Roberto Mancini says Mateo Regetui will start against Holland.

The Azzurri are to face Holland in the third place Nations League playoff.

On Boca Juniors striker Regetui, Mancini said: "Yes, for sure tomorrow. It was scheduled to be a game for one, the players are tired, they are not 100%. In these days we've been working we've tried to recover… it's an important game, we're trying to win even if first place isn't at stake.

“This qualifying phase of the Nations League has been played with young players, who perhaps you didn't even know.

“The project has already started. There was the Under-20 World Cup, the Under-21… We had Bastoni who fell ill the day before the start, we had some problems."
