L.Toni won't play against Lithuania © EuroFootball.com

The forward of the Italian national team and "X" club will soon lie on the surgical table. The footballer will undergo surgery on his injured left leg, which will prevent him from playing sports for almost four months.

This means that L.Toni will miss not only the end of the Italian championship, but also will not be able to help his country's national team in the European Championship qualifying matches in early June against Lithuania and the Faroe Islands.

The impressive Italian, who scored 31 goals in the last Serie A season, has scored 16 goals in 29 matches this season. "Fiorentina", which started the season with a 15-point deficit due to a corruption scandal, currently holds 5th place in the Italian championship and realistically aims to qualify for the UEFA Cup.

In the Italian national team, L.Toni has scored 12 goals in 27 matches. In this qualifying cycle, the forward scored 4 goals and significantly contributed to the Italian victories against Ukraine and Scotland.

In Group B of the qualifiers, Italy has collected 10 points after 5 matches and is currently in fourth place, while the Lithuanians, with 4 points after 5 games, are in sixth place.
