Chelsea left-back Emerson Palmieri limped off just eight minutes into Italy’s Euro 2020 qualifier against Finland.
The Brazil-born player sprinted half the length of the field to chase down Teemu Pukki and limit a dangerous counter-attack.
He pulled up at the end of the run and immediately asked to come off.
Alessandro Florenzi replaced Emerson as a makeshift left-back, as the Italy injury crisis intensifies.
