June 17: According to the latest report by Sky Sports, after their match against Croatia, the Spanish team had a recovery period and resumed training on June 16 (local time). Considering the short interval, starters from the previous game did not train on the pitch but instead focused on recovery in the gym.
The 30-year-old left-footed central defender, Laporte, who had been suffering from a muscle injury, missed the team’s opening group match at the European Championship, a 3-0 victory over Croatia.
It is reported that he was not present at the training session today and will undergo health checks within hours. Coach Luis de la Fuente needs to know if the central defender will be fit for the crucial group-stage match against Italy.
Italy, their opponents, won their opening group match 2-1 against Albania. Sky Sports suggests that, at this point, it seems unlikely that Laporte will feature against Italy, with the team set to continue with the center-back partnership of Nacho and Romain Langlet.
