The Azzurri are third in Group C with four points from three games after the tie in Spalletti’s first game in charge of the national team, while second-placed Ukraine have seven points from four games and leaders England have 13 from five.

The top two teams qualify for next year’s finals in Germany.

“Donnarumma will start,” Spalletti said.

“Mistakes are always costly when you’re a goalkeeper.

“And he is not forgiven for another reason, because he was a prodigious lad.

“It’s normal that mistakes can be made.

“But you have to respect talent, when it is given to you, and take care of it with professionalism.

“Otherwise, it becomes arrogance.”
