Roberto Mancini has no doubts Juventus youngster Moise Kean will impress if he is given his first Italy start against Finland.
Italy begin their Euro 2020 qualification campaign on Saturday, with Finland their first opponents in Group J – a pool which also includes Greece, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Liechtenstein and Armenia.
Injuries to Lorenzo Insigne, Federico Chiesa and Alessandro Florenzi have diminished Mancini's options in the forward positions, meaning Juve's Kean – who has only one substitute appearance for his country to his name – is in line for a full senior debut.
