France v Italy team news: Olise starts in Zidane's six-change side

Michael Olise starts in attack for France against Italy as Zinedine Zidane makes six changes for his first home match as France manager, according to The Guardian's pre-match team news. Roberto Mancini makes two changes to Italy's starting side for the Nations League meeting.

France team news and reported starting lineup

Olise moves into the starting lineup after coming off the bench against Belgium on Monday. The newspaper reports that he scored the winner in that match, before being named among the starters for the encounter with Italy.

Ousmane Dembele, Rayan Cherki, Adrien Truffert, Dayot Upamecano and Adrien Rabiot are the other five players coming into Zidane's side. The changes therefore include players listed in defence, midfield and attack.

The Guardian lists France in a 4-2-3-1 formation. Maignan is named in goal, with Kalulu, Jacquet, Upamecano and Truffert making up the reported back four.

Da Cunha and Rabiot are the two players listed in the deeper midfield positions. Ahead of them, the named attacking midfield trio consists of Olise, Cherki and Doue, with Dembele completing the XI as the forward in the newspaper's formation.

Italy team news and reported starting lineup

Mancini brings Riccardo Calafiori and Moise Kean into the Italy team. They replace Matteo Ruggeri and Giacomo Raspadori in the starting XI, according to The Guardian's account of the selections.

Italy's reported formation is 4-3-3, with Donnarumma named as goalkeeper. Kayode, Scalvini, Bastoni and the incoming Calafiori are the four players listed across the defence.

Frattesi, Tonali and Fagioli make up the midfield three in the newspaper's lineup. Kean joins P Esposito and S Esposito in the listed attack. Those are the starting arrangements reported by the source, rather than an indication of how either side will adjust during the match.

Opening results, venue and kick-off time

France come into the fixture after two away matches that both ended in 1-0 victories, against Belgium and Turkey, according to The Guardian. Zidane's opening results therefore precede his first appearance at home as France manager.

Italy began their Nations League campaign with a 2-0 home defeat against Belgium. They followed that result with a 4-1 victory in Turkey, the match from which Mancini has made his selection changes.

The France–Italy meeting is at the Stade de France in Saint-Denis. The Guardian lists kick-off for the Nations League fixture as 7.45pm BST and names Spain's Jesus Gil Manzano as the referee.
