Confederations Cup - Cannavaro to miss opener
Eurosport - Sat, 13 Jun 13:26:00 2009
Italy captain Fabio Cannavaro will miss his country's opening match at the Confederations Cup on Monday because of a calf strain and could be out for their next game too.
Cannavaro, 35, has a calf strain that stopped him from training with the rest of squad this week or playing in the warm up matches ahead of the start of the eight-team tournament, team doctor Enrico Castellacci said.
Italy meet the United States in their opening Group B match in Pretoria and play Egypt next on Thursday.
The World Cup winning captain, who is returning to Juventus after a spell at Real Madrid, missed the 4-3 win over New Zealand in midweek and a training match against a local team on Friday.
Cannavaro is two matches away from matching Paolo Maldini's record of 126 caps for Italy.
