Davide Frattesi has left Italy's training camp ahead of their final Nations League game against Belgium due to a muscle injury.

Frattesi was on target for Italy in their 3-1 win over France on Saturday, with his goal sandwiched between a Francesco Pio Esposito brace to complete the comeback after Michael Olise's opener.

The midfielder was taken off in the 73rd minute, however, and Italy have now confirmed he will play no part in the team's pivotal clash with Belgium.

In a statement released on Friday, Italy said: "Frattesi is struggling with a muscle strain that will make him unavailable for the match against Belgium and will therefore return to his club."

Frattesi's goal was his 10th for his country, while it was his second goal this Nations League campaign, having also scored against Turkiye.

Italy kept their Nations League fate in their own with the win over France, after Belgium had put the pressure on with a comeback win over Turkiye.

The Azzurri currently sit top of Group A1, above France due to their head-to-head record, with both teams on 10 points. Belgium are just behind them on nine.

Belgium won the reverse fixture 2-0 in Roberto Mancini's first game following his return to the helm.

Italy need to avoid defeat to book their place in the last eight, while Belgium must win to make it to the quarter-finals.
