Italy winger Antonio Candreva is in a race against time to be fit for Monday’s Euro 2016 last 16 showdown with holders Spain.
The Lazio player started the opening two Group E games in the tournament but injured his right adductor muscle in the 1-0 triumph over Sweden and sat out Wednesday’s 1-0 loss to Ireland.
Candreva joined his team mates for the warm-up in yesterday morning’s practice before training separately.
Striker Federico Bernardeschi, who started against Ireland, trained alone on Thursday due to a knee problem but joined the rest of the squad yesterday.
The Azzurri face the holders on Monday afternoon, having won Group E ahead of Belgium and Ireland while Spain finished second behind Croatia in Group D.
