Team News: Daniele De Rossi earns 100th Italy cap in Euro 2016 qualifier with Croatia

Daniele de Rossi wins his 100th Italy cap against Croatia in their Euro 2016 qualifier at the San Siro.

Roma midfielder Daniele De Rossi will earn his 100th Italy cap in the Azzurri's Euro 2016 qualifier with Croatia in Milan this evening.

With Andrea Pirlo, Marco Verratti and Riccardo Montolivo all missing through injury, De Rossi has been named in a central midfield trio alongside Claudio Marchisio and Antonio Candreva.

Mario Balotelli is also injured, so Simone Zaza starts upfront alongside Ciro Immobile.

Meanwhile, Croatia have changed their entire side for the clash at the San Siro.

Niko Kovac started a number of fringe players in their narrow 2-1 loss to World Cup finalists Argentina on Wednesday, but he has recalled the likes of Mario Mandzukic, Luka Modric, Darijo Srna and Ivan Rakitic for tonight's game. There is no place in the starting XI for Liverpool's Dejan Lovren though.

Both teams enter the game with a 100% record in Group H.

Italy: Buffon; Chiellini, Ranocchia, Darmian; De Sciglio, De Rossi, Marchisio, Candreva, Pasqual; Zaza, Immobile

Croatia: Subasic; Pranjic, Vida, Corluka, Srna; Brozovic, Modric, Olic, Rakitic, Perisic; Mandzukic
