Daniele De Rossi and Antonio Candreva didn't join Italy for training and both look unlikely to play against Germany.
The Lazio winger was a certain forfeit for the quarter-finals, with most sources expecting him to be out at least until the semis and some believing the tournament may be over for him.
De Rossi picked up a knock during the game against Spain and is essential for Coach Antonio Conte's formation, as his natural substitute Thiago Motta is suspended for the next game.

Reports by Sky Sports Italia indicate that the players have not trained with the rest of the team today, making it less and less likely that De Rossi will feature against the Mannschaft. His situation will be monitored closely, in hopes of a last-minute improvement in his conditions.
Stefano Sturaro may play in his stead, or else the formation may be changed to a 3-4-3.
Italy's doctor Daniele Castellacci is expected to speak in today's Press conference and discuss De Rossi's situation.
