Leonardo Bonucci did not lie. Yesterday's World Cup qualifier match in Sweden demanded a sacrifice from the Italian - the defender had his nose broken. This was revealed today after conducting detailed examinations. At the beginning of the lost (0:1) match, the player felt a strong blow - the hosts' representative Ola Toivonen knocked out one of the most important opponents' footballers with his elbow. Nevertheless, L.Bonucci showed determination and played until the end of the match. Now determined, the Italian does not even think about missing the very important return match - he, if allowed by the doctors, will fight in the field wearing a special face mask. The second match between the teams of Italy and Sweden will be played on Monday at "San Siro" stadium.
