Italy trained on Thursday (23rd June) ahead of their last 16 tie against defending champions Spain in the European Championship.

Italy returned to light training on Thursday (23rd June), 24 hours after their 1-0 defeat to the Republic of Ireland at Euro 2016.

The Italians had already qualified for the knockout stages as winners of Group D, softening the blow of Wednesday's defeat.

Antonio Conte's men will face Spain in the pick of the last 16 fixtures, in a repeat of the final of four years ago.

Spain won on that occasion, with Italy looking for revenge at the Stade de France on Monday.
