Lightening seems to have struck twice for Italy captain Fabio Cannavaro and he will miss his side’s Confederations Cup opener with the USA on Monday.
The defender has a calf injury and there are fears he could miss further games, bringing back memories of Euro 2008, when he missed the whole tournament.
According to reports, Cannavaro was unable to train on Friday and Italy doctor Enrico Castellacci revealed he would not be playing on Monday night.
The Azzurri clash with the USA before playing Egypt in their second Group B match on Thursday in Pretoria.
Cannavaro did not feature against New Zealand on Wednesday and he missed the 6-0 win over local team Tshwane on Friday in the their final warm-up match.
