The Southampton striker was present at the start but left with team doctor Enrico Castellacci to undergo tests.

During the Belgium match, the 30-year-old Pelle dislocated the little finger on his left hand and had his foot stamped on.

After playing Sweden in Toulouse, Italy have their final Group E match against Ireland in Lille on June 22.
