He has now returned to his club Torino after picking up a "light muscle injury", the federation said in a statement on their website (www.figc.it).

Italy have already been deprived of Daniele De Rossi and Andrea Barzagli, who both picked up injuries against France, while Leonardo Bonucci is missing due to family reasons.
