Pelle, who scored the team's second goal in Monday's 2-0 win, hurt his foot during the match and missed training the following morning.

The Southampton player underwent tests in Montpellier on Tuesday night and it revealed no damage.

"Pelle underwent tests for a knock on his foot sustained on Monday. The tests results have been negative," the Italian Football Federation tweeted.

Pelle, who also dislocated a finger on his left hand against the Belgians, is expected to train on Wednesday.

Italy will finish the group stages against Ireland in Lille on June 22.
