The Lazio player started the opening two games in the tournament but injured his right adductor muscle in the 1-0 triumph over Sweden and sat out Wednesday’s 1-0 loss to Ireland.

Candreva joined his team mates for the warm-up in Friday morning’s practice before training separately.

Striker Federico Bernardeschi, who started against Ireland, trained alone on Thursday due to a knee problem but joined the rest of the squad on Friday.
