Mateo Retegui will miss Italy's Nations League quarter-final against Germany with a thigh injury, the country's football federation (FIGC) said on Wednesday.
In a statement, the FIGC said Atalanta striker Retegui had picked up an unspecified problem in his right thigh which has ruled him out of both legs of the last-eight tie.
Retegui, who leads the Serie A scoring charts with 22 goals, is set to leave Italy's training camp for further tests with his club.
Italy host Germany at the San Siro on Thursday before travelling to Dortmund for the second leg on March 23.
The winner of the tie will host the Nations League finals in June, with Italy opting for Turin should they get through.
Since choosing to play for Italy in 2023, Argentina-born Retegui has scored six times in 18 international appearances for the Azzurri.
