ROME (Reuters) - Italy coach Roberto Mancini says midfielder Nicolo Barella and striker Andrea Belotti should be available for Friday's World Cup qualifier at home to Switzerland, boosting the European champions after losing key personnel to injury.

Italy top Group C with two games left but are locked on 16 points with Switzerland, and the country that wins Friday's game will take control of the group. Only the group winners are guaranteed a place in next year's finals in Qatar, while the second-placed team face a playoff.
