Michele Rizzo has been named on the Italy bench for Sunday's RBS 6 Nations game against England at Twickenham (3pm, live on ITV).
Rizzo, who has made four starts for Leicester Tigers this season after returning from long-term injury, is set to make his 23rd appearance for the Azzurri.
The loosehead prop won his last international cap at London’s Olympic Park when Italy played Ireland in the 2015 Rugby World Cup.
England are due to name their team at 10am on Friday. Dan Cole and Ben Youngs are among the 24 players retained by head coach Eddie Jones to prepare for the game.
