Former England boss Fabio Capello has hailed Italy's strength in depth at Euro 2012.

The Italians have drawn both matches at the tournament so far, despite taking the lead against Group C opponents and defending champions Spain and again against Croatia last night in Poznan.

"Di Natale played for 20 or 30 minutes [against Spain] but scored the goal and had a chance to score a second one," Capello told Uefa.com.

"These are the type of players that, luckily for the coach, can be brought off the bench. These are dangerous players."

Italy take on the Republic of Ireland on Monday.
