Marco Verratti is still not training with the rest of the Italy squad ahead of Sunday’s Euro 2016 qualifier against Croatia.
The second training session of the day was completed at the Coverciano ground, including a game between ranks.
Marco Verratti is still not training with the rest of the Italy squad ahead of Sunday’s Euro 2016 qualifier against Croatia.
The second training session of the day was completed at the Coverciano ground, including a game between ranks.
Verratti was the only player who did not take part in the session, as he is continuing physiotherapy on insertional tendinitis in the left groin area.
It is increasingly unlikely the Paris Saint-Germain midfielder will be fit enough to start the big game at San Siro this weekend.
With Andrea Pirlo also injured, Coach Antonio Conte seems set to move Lazio’s Antonio Candreva into a more central role.
Italy probable XI to face Croatia: Buffon; Ranocchia, Ogbonna, Chiellini; Darmian, Candreva, De Rossi, Marchisio, De Sciglio; Zaza, Immobile
