Lorenzo Insigne has been forced to leave the Italy camp. The Napoli forward will be unavailable for the Armenia and Finland matches as he’s returned to his club for treatment. Insigne is the latest player to drop out after Chiellini, De Sciglio and Cristante who have been replaced by Acerbi, D’Ambrosio and Tonali while Freiburg’s Vincenzo Grifo comes in for Insigne.
