AC Milan's "Inter" defender Fabio Cannavaro will not be able to play for ten days due to an injury sustained in the league match against "Chievo".

The Italian national team defender underwent medical tests and it was determined that he strained his right thigh.

The player will miss the "Serie A" match against "Ancona" and the UEFA Cup second leg match against "Benfica".

It is also possible that the Italian national team coach Giovanni Trapattoni will not call him up for the friendly international matches taking place at the end of the month. In those matches, Italy will face the future host of the European Championship, Portugal.
