Italy women's national team coach Milena Bertolini has selected her 23-player squad as the Azzurre are set to host Georgia and Malta in their upcoming Women's Euro 2021 qualifiers.

On November 8, they will take on Georgia in Benevento before facing Mark Gatt's side five days later at Castel di Sangro, in Abruzzo (kick-off: 2.15pm)

Bertolini named 21 of the 23 players who were previously selected for the Malta game, which the Italians won thanks to two late goals from Elisa Bartoli and Cristiana Girelli at the Centenary Stadium.
