The Torino forward left the Stadio Olimpico pitch in the latter stages of his side’s 2-2 draw with Verona this afternoon.
Speaking immediately after the match, Coach Sinisa Mihajlovic said it was too early to determine the full extent of Belotti’s injury, but medical tests on the player are already underway.
Andrea Belotti is at risk of missing out on Italy’s matches with Macedonia and Albania after picking up a knee injury.
The Torino forward left the Stadio Olimpico pitch in the latter stages of his side’s 2-2 draw with Verona this afternoon.
Speaking immediately after the match, Coach Sinisa Mihajlovic said it was too early to determine the full extent of Belotti’s injury, but medical tests on the player are already underway.
Although the injury is not expected to be serious, the 23-year-old may well sit out Giampiero Ventura’s team’s World Cup qualifying fixtures as a precaution.
Regardless of the Azzurri’s results against the two Balkan nations, it seems certain that they will have to face a play-off in order to guarantee their place at next summer’s tournament in Russia.
Should Belotti miss out on the international double header, it has been suggested that Chievo's Roberto Inglese will replace him in the squad.
