Napoli wingman Dries Mertens will not be returning to Italy just yet, according to Il Mattino.
The 27-year-old was carried off on a stretcher during the game between Belgium and Wales last Sunday after suffering concussion.
The player was initially expected to fly back to Italy today to continue his recovery from the incident, which had rendered him unconscious and without feeling in his legs.

However, Il Mattino report that Mertens will be taking another day to rest, and may return to Italy only on Thursday evening, with a view to starting training on Friday morning.
This is likely to rule him out of the game against Cagliari, which will be played on Sunday.
