"&lt;p&gt;               &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; FORTALEZA, Brazil (AP) -- Forward Mario Balotelli will miss Italy's semifinal vs. Spain in the Confederations Cup with a strained muscle in his left leg.    &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; The Italian Football Federation made the announcement Sunday following tests on Balotelli. The injury occurred during Italy's 4-2 loss to Brazil on Saturday.    &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; The federation said Balotelli would continue to be monitored in the hope he can return for Italy's next match - either the final or the third-place game.    &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; Italy faces World Cup holder Spain on Thursday. The final and third-place games are June 30.    &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Copyright 2014 Associated Press. All rights reserved.
