FLORENCE, Italy (Reuters) - Italy fullback Matteo Minozzi has recovered from a broken nose suffered against England a fortnight ago to be included in the team to play Scotland in the Autumn Nations Cup in Florence on Saturday.

Minozzi, who helped Wasps reach the English Premiership final, had to leave the pitch in Rome last month at the end of the Six Nations after a clash of heads with Jonny May but has recovered to make the team named by coach Franco Smith on Thursday.
