Italy and Belgium were both on the training ground on Sunday as they prepare to go toe-to-toe in their first match of Euro 2016 on Monday. The game will see involvement from four Giallorossi players: Daniele De Rossi, Alessandro Florenzi and Stephan El Shaarawy for Italy and Radja Nainggolan for Belgium.
The action kicks off at the Parc Olympique Lyonnais at 21:00 CEST, with the other game in Group E – Republic of Ireland v Sweden – beginning a little earlier at 18:00 CEST.
The Azzurri trained in Montpellier this morning before flying to Lyon, while the Belgian squad arrived in Lyon earlier today ahead of an afternoon training session.

Speaking from the Belgian camp, Nainggolan has talked about his love for Italy and how grateful he is to a country that has been his home for many years: “I owe the fact that I’m taking part in a Euros to Italy, my second home.
“I love Italy because it has given me the respect that I lacked for so long in Belgium. The Italian people accepted me straight away and I’ll never forget that. They’re really welcoming people.”
