Injured his ankle in a training ground incident with a teammate and will miss the whole tournament!

Sucks for Italia as he is a vital piece of the team!

Especially with Nesta in retirement. Matarrazi can't be far from retirement either if he isn't already.

maldini gone..

where are the up and coming italian defenders?

Next great Italian defender see: Alessandro Tuia bit young like at 17 but is supposed to be as good as Nesta was at the same age.

Barzagli and Zaccardo aren't exactly crap either to be honest, Italy constantly have a stream of good players coming through at CB.

I think Ferrari would have been right up there but I believe he's had some injury issues over the past few years.
