He will also miss Lazio’s Serie A game on Sunday.

“Sorry for not being able to be in the  match against Bologna and sorry for not being able to respond to coach Roberto Mancini’s call for the Nations League finals,” the 31-year-old wrote on Instagram.

“I will do my best to come back as soon as possible.”

European champions Italy face Spain in the Nations League semi-finals in Milan on Wednesday.
