The friendly kicks off at 19.45 UK time on Tuesday at the Juventus Stadium in Turin.
This evening the squad trained at the Stadio Olimpico – used for Torino’s home matches – in a session behind closed doors.
The FIGC confirmed that Buffon was back in training after missing out on last night’s 2-2 draw in Bulgaria due to a fever.
Florenzi also trained despite a knee injury, while Bertolacci was able to continue after playing 20 minutes in Sofia with a dislocated shoulder.
Coach Antonio Conte experimented with an all-new strike pairing of Eder and Graziano Pellè.
Sampdoria forward Eder found the net on his Azzurri debut, curling in an 84th-minute equaliser in the Euro qualifier with Bulgaria.
Inter full-back Davide Santon and Milan's Ignazio Abate were added to the squad today.
Around 25,000 people are expected to be in the Juventus Stadium on Tuesday.
