Ciro Immobile and Lorenzo Insigne could lead Italy’s attack when the Azzurri open their World Cup campaign against England on Saturday.

The former Pescara team-mates started in Sunday’s 5-3 triumph over Brazilian club side Fluminense and accounted for all of the Italian’s goals at Volta Redonda late Sunday.

Immobile, who scored a hat-trick against Fluminense, was the top scorer in Serie A this season with Torino and only just sealed a transfer to Borussia Dortmund.

Napoli striker Insigne is also coming off a strong campaign and has now boosted his chances of being in the starting XI ahead of Mario Balotelli and Antonio Cassano.

“The coach will make his choices, we just have to work hard and give our contribution even if we come off the bench,” Immobile said.

“I was really excited after scoring the first goal so you can imagine finishing with a hat-trick.

“It’s always important to score even if it is not in an official game. Now we have to be ready for England.”

Insigne was delighted to again play alongside Immobile.

“We know each other well so for us it’s much easier to play together,” he said.

Italy were fragile in defence but that did not cause too much concern for Insigne.

“The fact that we gave away three goals is not important because the result was not important,” Insigne said.

“The outcome that will be crucial is against England. They are a strong side and we will have to use our best weapons.”
