Close second behind Arturo for player of the season imo, completely underrated outside of Italy as well

Andrea Barzagli could miss out on the Confederations Cup due to his nagging Achilles tendon injury.

The Bianconeri star helped guide the club to their second consecutive Scudetto.

However, the 32-year-old has been unable to train regularly due to the reoccurring injury.

With Cesare Prandelli set to name his 23-man squad on Monday, there is growing concern that Barzagli will be left off the team if he unable to show he can return to being 100% fit.

The tournament runs from June 15-30 and sees Italy in Group A with Mexico, Japan and Brazil.

I hope he stays home so that he can recover in time for training camps and be ready for next season then!

 

[Bianconero_Aus]

Hopefully he doesn't get selected. Need big Andrea ready and firing for next season.

Varane

he is good but not best this season, only played 15 league games

Enjoying some of these comments.

I bet there is no better defender than Sergio Ramos, and will never come in the near future with same physical body and maturity. Keep my word.

Varane is going to be one of the best CBs in the world, but Barzagli was way better fo sho last season. Beastly consistence.

I like Goal.com but users are just awful, lot's of fanboys na kids. They vote for Varane because he is young and he is from Real. Just it.

 

[Trequartista]

Sergio Ramos is a very good RB but he's meh at CB, too many positional mistakes.

 

[Oz_Bianconero88]

Varane with more votes than either Lahm or Barz...
I don't want to live on this planet anymore..

 

[Bianconero90]

How long is he out?? I hope it's not serious!

Barza out for Uruguay. I think this is a good thing. He needs to rest. He should be fit before long.

 

[Oz_Bianconero88]

That is Barza and Chiello out for the Uruguay game...

Be prepared for the Swiss cheese defence! :/

Too bad Ogbanana didn't make the team, woud be nice to see him start.

It'd be very interesting to see him get injured for 6 months and lose his form forever.
