The
Fiorentina man’s game lasted just over a minute after he had to be stretchered
off following an awkward fall. Gamberini was rushed to hospital and
examinations have confirmed that he has suffered a dislocated shoulder.
It’s not good for Lippi or Fiorentina as Gamberini has been outstanding in recent matches.
Grosso was also crocked during the game and, like his colleague, he too paid a visit to Lanarca hospital. The Lyon stopper has a broken rib.
This latest set back comes just days after Marco Amelia was sent home with a back problem.
Italy’s injury problems in defence are likely to give Lippi a selection problem and the coach will now have to bring in some reinforcements for the game against Georgia next week.
Things could have been worse on the night as Italy could have gone home embarrassed, bruised and battered as Cyprus could have won the game.
But it was Antonio Di Natale who made the difference to spare La Nazionale from any further woes with a superb double strike to steal the points for his side.
