Italy striker Graziano Pelle missed Tuesday's training in Montpellier, after defeating Belgium 2-0 on Monday in their opening match of the Euro football championship.

The Southampton player, who scored the second goal on Monday, is suffering from muscle problems that are yet to be evaluated by physicians, so he watched the training of his team-mates from the bench, reports Efe.

Italy will face Sweden next Friday in Group E of Euro 2016.
