Davide Calabria is returning home early with an injury, and it remains to be seen if he’ll be able to face Fiorentina.

Calabria came off the bench yesterday in the 80th minute of Italy’s 1-1 draw with Switzerland, replacing Emerson Palmieri.

However, as reported by Sky Italia, Calabria will not be able to take part in Italy’s decisive match on Monday against Northern Ireland due to an injury.

Tests this morning showed that Davide is suffering from a calf problem and the player is therefore going to leave the national team and return to Milanello to treat the injury.

The extent of the problem is not yet known and it’s unclear whether he’ll be fit to play Fiorentina next Saturday. In case he can’t make it, Pierre Kalulu and Alessandro Florenzi can step in.
