knee injury and will not play in the Euro 2016 qualifiers
against Azerbaijan and Norway.
Napoli forward Lorenzo Insigne has withdrawn from the Italy
squad for the Euro 2016 qualifying double-header against
Azerbaijan and Norway due to a knee injury.
Insigne sustained a knock to his right knee in Napoli's 4-0 win
at AC Milan on Sunday and has left the training camp at
Coverciano.
An Italian FA statement (FIGC) read: "The player - who has been
resting since Tuesday as a precaution after a knock to his right
knee in the match between Milan and Napoli - had improved, but
was still suffering with pain in the joint.
"Insigne has today left Coverciano, and will return to his club for
treatment."
Italy boss Antonio Conte has yet to announce if he will call up a
replacement for a player who has impressed in recent weeks
under new Napoli coach Maurizio Sarri.
The Azzurri visit Azerbaijan on Saturday before taking on
Norway on October 13. They will qualify for the finals in France
if they match Croatia's result at the weekend.
