Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Marco Verratti has pulled-out of the Italy squad with injury.
The 23-year-old was named in Antonio Conte’s squad to face Spain and Germany, but was always a doubt for the matches as he’s been struggling with a hamstring injury.
Verratti hasn’t featured for the French champions since his side beat Reims 4-1 in February, and hasn’t completed 90 minutes since a win over Lyon in the Coupe de la Ligue on January 13.
