The fitness of midfielder Riccardo Montolivo is Italy coach Antonio Conte's biggest headache before he names his final 23-man squad for Euro 2016 on Tuesday.
Montolivo's presence looks in danger with a leg muscle injury - hopes that he had recovered were dashed when he had to pull out of training session before Sunday's laboured 1-0 win over Scotland in a pre-tournament friendly. It would be particularly hard on the AC Milan player, who missed out on the 2014 World Cup after breaking his leg in a warm-up game.
It would also be a big blow to Conte after injuries ruled out Juventus midfielder Claudio Marchisio and Paris Saint-Germain playmaker Marco Verratti.
