Daniele De Rossi could be asked to play in defence during Italy's Euro 2012 opener against Spain.

Daniele De Rossi will reportedly start in defence during Italy's Euro 2012 opener against Spain next week.

Despite being renowned as a holding midfielder, Roma's De Rossi may be asked to feature in a defensive role because of a number of injuries to the Italian squad.

Coach Cesare Prandelli will definitely be without his main defender Andrea Barzagli for the match against the holders due to a muscular problem.

As a result, during a recent training session De Rossi was asked to play alongside Giorgio Chiellini and Angelo Ogbonna in a three-man defensive unit, according to La Gazzetta dello Sport.

De Rossi has been to three major tournaments with the Azzurri.
