Italy wary of Zlatan after first game no-show
Italy remain wary of Zlatan Ibrahimovic despite his disappointing performance against the Republic of Ireland.
Sweden's talisman looked out of sorts in his side's 1-1 opening draw with Martin O'Neill's men.
The former Serie A star will hope for a better showing in today's 2pm kick off against the group-leading Italians, live on ITV and at the ITV Hub from 1.30pm.
Lazio midfielder Antonio Candreva knows they have to be wary of the enigmatic striker.
"He's a great champion", a fantastic player and he can hurt us all on his own," he told a press conference.
"But we have to play our own game, albeit with certain adaptations to counter their strengths and take advantage of their weaknesses."
Victory would put Italy through to the knockout stage but Candreva admits recent experience has taught them not to get ahead of themselves.
"We still have to get through, making calculations now is wrong," he added.
"We remember what happened at the World Cup in Brazil when we were knocked out after winning the first game."
