Mario Balotelli is a major doubt to feature for Italy against Portugal in Monday’s Nations League match.

The Nice forward limped off an hour into last night’s 1-1 draw with Poland and had an ice pack strapped to his thigh.

He underwent tests today for a possible muscular injury and did not take part in the full training session.

Mario Balotelli is a major doubt to feature for Italy against Portugal in Monday’s Nations League match.

The Nice forward limped off an hour into last night’s 1-1 draw with Poland and had an ice pack strapped to his thigh.

He underwent tests today for a possible muscular injury and did not take part in the full training session.

Balotelli is therefore unlikely to start Monday’s game in Lisbon, with Andrea Belotti and Ciro Immobile pushing for a starting spot.

Monaco striker Pietro Pellegri already left the Italy camp with an injury.
