THE RETURN of Roberto Baggio could be just one of several new problems facing Poland when they play Italy today.

Poland will be litt~le cha~nged~~ fo~~r the group two clash in Naples, while Italy have made some major modifications to the side that was held 0-0 in Chorzow with Baggio, out of the team since 1995, expected to make an appearance as a substitute.

Italy currently have 13 points, four clear of second-placed England who have a game in hand.

"We need three points," said Maldini, whose players are unbeaten and have not conceded a goal since he took over from unpopular coach Arrigo Sacchi last year. "If we beat Poland then England will be almost on their knees. It means having all the psychological advantage."

England beat Poland 2-1 at Wembley and anything less than three points for Italy could be dangerous - particularly if England beat the Poles away next month.

Gianfranco Zola is expected to partner Middlesbrough's returning striker Fabrizio Ravanelli who missed the last two World Cup qualifiers due to injury.
