Antonio Candreva will not be available for Monday’s match against Spain. The Lazio midfielder will not recover in time from the injury he picked up against Sweden and will therefore be forced to miss another Euro 2016 game. Earlier today, the Azzurri underwent a behind-closed-doors training session at the Bernard Gasset sports centre in Montpellier. Federico Bernardeschi did not take part as a precaution, but he should be back tomorrow.

UEFA announced this morning that Monday’s encounter with La Roja will be officiated by Turkey’s Cuneyt Cakir. He will be assisted by compatriots Bahattin Duran and Tarik Ongun, his additional assistants will be Huseyin Gocek and Baris Simsek and the fourth official will be England’s Martin Atkinson. Cakir, an insurance broker from Istanbul, will referee Italy for the third time having previously taken charge of the Azzurri’s Euro 2012 win over the Republic of Ireland and a 1-1 friendly draw with Holland in February 2013. Italy’s own Nicola Rizzoli will also be refereeing a last-16 tie as he has been assigned France’s game against the Republic of Ireland tomorrow in Lyon. Rizzoli, who refereed the most recent World Cup final, will be assisted by Elenito Di Liberatore and Mauro Tonolini and his goalmouth assistants will be Daniele Orsato and Antonio Damato.
