Team News: Alessandro Florenzi replaces Matteo Darmian in Italy XI

Alessandro Florenzi replaces Matteo Darmian in the Italy XI for the Euro 2016 Group E clash against Sweden in Toulouse.

Alessandro Florenzi has replaced Matteo Darmian in the Italy XI for this afternoon's Euro 2016 Group E clash against Sweden in Toulouse.

Florenzi for Darmian is the only change from the team that recorded a 2-0 win over Belgium in their tournament opener last time out, meaning that Graziano Pelle and Eder will continue as the two strikers in a 3-5-2 formation.

Marco Parolo and Emanuele Giaccherini also keep their spots, with the latter scoring his team's opener against the Belgians.

As for Sweden, first-choice right-back Mikael Lustig has been ruled out with a slight knock, which has allowed Erik Johansson to come into the XI on the right side of the defence.

John Guidetti replaces Marcus Berg alongside Zlatan Ibrahimovic in the final third, while Albin Ekdal starts ahead of Oscar Lewicki in a team that shows three changes from their 1-1 draw with Republic of Ireland on June 13.

Italy: Buffon; Barzagli, Bonucci, Chiellini; Candreva, Parolo, De Rossi, Giaccherrini, Florenzi; Pelle, Eder
Subs: Sirigu, Marchetti, De Sciglio, Darmian, Ogbonna, Motta, Sturaro, Bernardeschi, Zaza, Immobile, Insigne, El Shaarway

Sweden: Isaksson; Johansson, Lindelof, Granqvist, Olsson; Larsson, Ekdal, Kallstrom, Forsberg; Guidetti, Ibrahimovic
Subs: Olsen, Carlgren, Jansson, Augustinsson, Hiljemark, Wernbloom, Lewicki, Durmaz, Zengin, Berg, Kujovic
