Italy coach Roberto Mancini says he'll keep playing the kids.

Italy are expected to start Brescia's 18 year-old midfielder Sandro Tonali on Tuesday against the USA.

“We need to get to know them better, to see them in action," said Mancini.

“Hopefully, many young players will get a chance to feature, as that'll mean we've got a bright future ahead of us. I think there are many talented players out there, they just need to gain some experience."
