Torino striker Andrea Belotti is having some muscular problems and won't play Israel-Italy.
The World Cup qualifier is scheduled for Monday evening, and it opens the long path towards the Russian World Cup in 2018.
The 22-year-old won't be able to contribute, as he reported some muscular pain in his right thigh yesterday and had to train apart.
Having skipped training with the Azzurri for the second day in a row, it seemed increasingly unlikely that the striker would be available for tomorrow's game.

Having skipped training with the Azzurri for the second day in a row, it seemed increasingly unlikely that the striker would be available for tomorrow's game.
In fact, this afternoon it was confirmed Belotti had left the training retreat and returned to Turin for tests.
While Belotti was not expected to be a starter, his loss will nonetheless be felt by Coach Giampiero Ventura, who knows him well from Torino.
