Roma defender Leonardo Spinazzola says the squad needs an injection of experience.

Spinazzola has noticed the difference playing with experienced players for Italy after their World Cup qualifying win against Northern Ireland.

“This year it's a coincidence," Spinazzola said at a press conference. “But we are there because in Europe they are all strong teams.

“At Roma, we are a young team, with a young defence and it's OK to make mistakes. It's part of the growth path.

“Here in the national team, there are [Giorgio] Chiellini, [Leonardo] Bonucci and [Francesco] Acerbi. I'd bring all three."
