Italy preparing to face the Lithuanian national team in Wednesday's match will have to rearrange their ranks. Various pages of this country reported that coach Roberto Mancini will not be able to rely on the injured Marco Verratti and Lorenzo Pellegrini. Both footballers are not one hundred percent physically prepared for the World Cup matches and will return to their clubs. Italy's national team is leading Group C, but their last two matches against Bulgaria and Switzerland ended in draws. Switzerland is trying to climb up the European Champions' heels, trailing by four points but with two matches in reserve. The Italy-Lithuania match will start on Wednesday at 9:45 PM, and the match will take place at the "Mapei" stadium in Reggio Emilia.
