Ducati rider Iannone came off his bike in FP1 and, despite walking away, was subsequently taken to a local hospital for scans.
An initial announcement via Ducati's Twitter feed ruled the Italian out of Sunday's race in his homeland, with reports suggesting he had suffered a micro-fracture to a vertebra.
However, a second post followed within 15 minutes, suggesting Iannone could yet race.
