The news serves as another blow to Italy coach Antonio Conte ahead of Euro 2016 as he prepares to try to guide the Azzurri to a second European title.

Manchester United and Italy defender Matteo Darmian's Euro 2016 hopes appear to be in doubt after he suffered a seemingly serious injury against Norwich City on Saturday.

Darmian collided with Ivo Pinto in the 12th minute of action at Carrow Road, sustaining a blow to his lower leg.

He received lengthy treatment from United's medical staff on the edge of the pitch before being moved from the field of play.

Cameron Borthwick-Jackson was brought on in the full-back's place, with Darmian then carried to the tunnel on a stretcher.
