Team News: Theo Walcott starts for England against Italy

Roy Hodgson makes five changes to his England side for the international friendly against Italy in Turin.

Theo Walcott has been named in England's starting XI for this evening's friendly against Italy at the Juventus Stadium.

Walcott replaces Arsenal teammate Danny Welbeck and is one of five changes made by Roy Hodgson to the side that started against Lithuania in Friday night's Euro 2016 qualifier.

Elsewhere, Phil Jagielka, Chris Smalling, Kieran Gibbs and Harry Kane come in for Gary Cahill, Michael Carrick, Leighton Baines and Raheem Sterling.

Hosts Italy, meanwhile, have a total of eight changes in their lineup from the one that started Saturday's 2-2 draw with Bulgaria.

Leonardo Bonucci, Giorgio Chiellini and Matteo Darmian are the only players to keep their places, with Southampton striker Graziano Pelle starting in attack.

Italy: Buffon; Ranocchia, Bonucci, Chiellini; Florenzi, Parolo, Valdifiori, Soriano, Darmian; Pelle, Eder

England: Hart; Clyne, Jagielka, Smalling, Gibbs; Jones; Henderson, Delph, Rooney; Walcott, Kane
