    The 21-year-old Kean, who is on loan this season at Paris Saint-Germain from Premier League side Everton, has been released to return to the French club.

    "Kean has suffered from a state of fatigue that makes him unavailable for the next matches of the national team against Northern Ireland, Bulgaria and Lithuania," the FICG said in a statement.

    "For this reason, Kean was excluded from the list of the Azzurri squad and this morning he will return to his club Paris Saint-Germain."
