The Italian Christian Vieri, who plays for the club, will miss the World Cup in Germany due to injury. The 32-year-old player has been having problems with his meniscus in recent months, and doctors concluded that the former striker of "Atletico," "Juventus," "Lazio," "Inter," and "Milan" will have to undergo knee surgery. This injury will also force the striker to miss at least a month of matches, meaning that only a miracle could save his hopes of traveling to Germany with the Italian national team. C. Vieri had almost a guaranteed spot in the Italian national team at the upcoming World Cup, but now Marcelo Lippi will have to look for other players who can fill this gap. With a total of 9 goals scored in World Cup tournaments, C. Vieri dropping out of the lineup, more chances to shine in the national team will go to the striker playing for the club.
