Italy's pre-match preparations have been affected by heavy rain and strong winds ahead of Friday night's Euro 2012 qualifier against Estonia.
Both Sky Sport Italia and La Repubblica report the players trained inside their hotel's gym and performed a number of physical exercises because of the poor weather conditions in Tallinn.
However, the game is not under threat of being called off as the conditions were not considered following a UEFA delegates' meeting this morning. A pitch was made available for the Azzurri to train on, but they preferred to work in the hotel.
Cesare Prandelli will be hoping his players are in a bright mood at kick-off time as he aims to bag maximum points in what will be his first compeitive match.
