[The Boss]

This could hurt Italy chances in the Euros

Italy have confirmed that captain Fabio Cannavaro will miss Euro 2008 with an ankle injury. The 34-year-old defender twisted his ankle in training on Monday following a collision with team-mate Giorgi Chiellini, and underwent lengthy treatment on the pitch. Extensive tests have now revealed the Real Madrid man has torn ankle ligaments and will play no part in the Azzurri's European campaign.
