Azzurri Stay Hopeful Over Duo
(Soccer365.com) - Italy team physician Enrico Castellacci reports that nicked defender Alessandro Nesta should be ready to go when they open World Cup play against Ghana, but wing defender Gianluca Zambrotta remains in heavy doubt.
Marcelo Lippi has opted not to replace the pair with alternates, but that doesn’t mean they are out of the woods.
"We're counting on getting Nesta back as soon as possible, even if we don't want to run any risks," stated Castellacci.
"As for Zambrotta, I'm hoping to have him ready for Lippi for the second match (against the United States)."
