They have an experienced striker in the form of Lille's Burak Yilmaz, while talented centre-backs like Juventus' Merih Demiral and Leicester City's Caglar Soyuncu have enjoyed good seasons as well. AC Milan midfielder Hakan Calhanoglu will be a key force in attack with his creativity and set-piece delivery.Senol Gunes has also named some young talents in the squad, including Trabzonspor midfielder Abdulkadir Omur, Sassuolo right-back Mert Muldur and Feyenoord attacking midfielder Orkun Kokcu.Injured: NoneDoubtful: NoneSuspended: NoneItalyItaly, on the other hand, have looked transformed under the management of Roberto Mancini, and have produced some good performances recently. Chelsea's Jorginho, Inter Milan's Nicolo Barella, Paris Saint-Germain's Marco Verratti and Sassuolo's Manuel Locatelli are among Italy's midfield options. Roma's Lorenzo Pellegrini suffered a muscular problem in mid-week and is out of the Turkey game. His participation in the tournament as a whole is now in doubt. The Azzurri have submitted a request to UEFA to bring in midfielder Gaetano Castrovilli as a replacement if scans show that Pellegrini will not be able to feature at Euro 2020.Up front, much will rely on the form of Lazio's Ciro Immobile, with Torino's Andrea Belotti in the squad as well. Juventus' veteran centre-backs Giorgio Chiellini and Leonardo Bonucci have been included as well, and the duo will most likely start if fully fit. There are doubts over the availability of Verratti for this game.Earlier this week Inter Milan midfielder Stefano Sensi was ruled out of the tournament and replaced in Italy's 26-man squad by Atalanta's Matteo Pessina.Injured: Lorenzo PellegriniDoubtful: Marco VerrattiSuspended: NoneAlso Read: Fabrizio Romano's Transfer Roundup: Update on Lionel Messi's Barcelona future, Chelsea's plan for the summer and moreTurkey vs Italy Predicted XITurkey Predicted XI (4-1-4-1): Ugurcan Cakir, Zeki Celik, Merih Demiral, Caglar Soyuncu, Umut Meras, Okay Yokuslu, Cengiz Under, Ozan Tufan, Hakan Calhanoglu, Yusuf Yazici, Burak Yilmaz🇹🇷 Burak Yılmaz has now scored 7 goals in his last 6 games for club & country 👏👏👏 pic.twitter.com/ExPfrBmUNa— UEFA EURO 2020 (@EURO2020) June 3, 2021Italy Predicted XI (4-3-3): Gianluigi Donnarumma, Alessandro Florenzi, Leonardo Bonucci, Giorgio Chiellini, Emerson Palmieri, Nicolo Barella, Jorginho, Manuel Locatelli, Federico Chiesa, Ciro Immobile, Lorenzo InsigneTurkey vs Italy PredictionTurkey have a strong squad, led by a good manager in Senol Gunes.
