Italy still hopeful injured star can make Euro squad
“Regarding Verratti and the other players coming back from injuries, we have already carried out checks and we can’t exclude a recovery for any of them,” said team doctor Andrea Ferretti on Tuesday.
“The knee is not bad. We can also possibly imagine the chance that he will be used once the Euro has started.”
Verratti missed Euro 2016 with injury. Italy failed to qualify for the 2018 World Cup.
