Italy coach Marcello Lippi opted against making wholesale changes to the team that drew 0-0 with Switzerland in August and named a largely unchanged squad to play the World Cup qualifiers away to Georgia in Tiblisi and at home to Bulgaria in Turin.

The world champions are one point above Ireland in their qualifying group with one game in hand and hope to gain some breathing space before a match between the sides in Dublin on October 10.
