Barzagli had a clean sheet and a tackle in a 0-0 draw with Sevilla.

Yet another solid outing for the defender, as he finished with the third highest rating in the side.

Barzagli (undisclosed) played the full 90 minutes in Monday's World Cup qualifier 3-1 win over Israel.

Italy coach Giampiero Ventura was very worried about Barzagli's condition. It turns out it has been nothing serious and Barzagli should be available for selection Sunday in Serie A action.

Barzagli is a major doubt for Italy's World Cup qualifier against Israel on Monday with an injury, L'Equipe reports.

The specifics about Barzagli's ailment are unclear but Italy coach Giampiero Ventura said the player's condition isn't very good and he's doubtful for Italy's qualifier Monday and Serie A action 11 Sept.

Barzagli started in all five matches for Italy during Euro 2016, making three tackles and receiving one yellow card on three fouls along with three clean sheets. He takes his international record to 61 caps with no goals. Italy were eliminated dramatically after a quarterfinals penalty shoot-out loss to Germany.

Barzagli had a great campaign helping Juventus add another scudetto to their trophy case last season. The 35-year-old center back wasn't very productive, though, with Juve dominating Serie A defensively he had some decent fantasy upside through clean sheets and consistent play. The veteran finished the season with one goal, 18 clean sheets and 28 tackles in 31 Serie A starts.

Barzagli started and assisted in a clean sheet during Friday's 1-0 win over Sweden.

The veteran did little to impact the box score as Italy stifled the Swedish attack, but he played his role to perfection as he was once again sandwiched between Giorgio Chiellini and Leonardo Bonucci in the three-back system. Barzagli and company have a perfect defensive record through two matches and will look to finish off the group stage in similar fashion Wednesday versus Ireland.

Barzagli secured a pair of interceptions and contributed to a clean sheet during Monday's 2-0 triumph over Belgium.

The veteran drew into the starting XI as Italy went with a back three to open the tournament, and he played a big part in stifling one of the tournaments most fearsome attacking units. The Azurri are likely to stick with the formation after Monday's success, meaning Barzagli should continue to see plenty of action, which makes him a serviceable low-cost option heading into Friday's match versus Sweden.

The veteran defender is expected to miss three months after undergoing surgery on his heel, Football Italia reports.

Barzagli looked to have lost a step at the World Cup.
