Good performances against four-time World Cup winner Italy, then European champion Spain next Tuesday, would go a long way to convincing its doubters of its credentials. Captain Vincent Kompany was also unsure because of a calf injury, and after Wilmots already angered Manchester City by fielding him last month at the end of an injury spell, he will seek to keep risks at a minimum. King Baudouin Stadium is the rebuilt Heysel Stadium, where 39 people — mostly Italians — died during fan violence at the European Cup final between Liverpool and Juventus on May 29, 1985. Chiellini also dismissed reports that the 36-year-old Pirlo, who recently finished his first Major League Soccer season at New York City FC, could join Inter Milan during City's offseason. De Silvestri was ruled out for several months after knee ligament damage during Italy's 1-1 draw against Croatia in a qualifier for the European Championship.
