Italy's Spinazzola to miss England clash

Leonardo Spinazzola will miss Italy's friendly clash with England on Tuesday after suffering an unspecified injury in training.

The on-loan Atalanta full-back had been expected to start at Wembley, with Luigi Di Biagio anticipated to make a number of changes from the side that lost 2-0 to Argentina on Friday.

But Spinazzola felt discomfort during Monday's first training session and, after consultation with his club, it was deemed best to send him back to Italy.
