Iaquinta may miss Georgia Tuesday 9 October, 2007
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Azzurri marksman Vincenzo Iaquinta may miss out on Italy’s Euro 2008 qualifier with Georgia on Saturday due to a knee injury.
The Juventus star limped off against Fiorentina last weekend, but is still hoping to overcome the knock and justify Roberto Donadoni’s decision to select him ahead of teammate Alessandro Del Piero.
“The knee is swollen and it will need to be rested for a few days, at least a couple,” Iaquinta told the Press at the national side’s retreat in Coverciano.
“We are hoping that Iaquinta will recover in time,” Azzurri doctor Andrea Ferretti agreed.
“He needs to stay off it for two or three days. He took a blow to the top of the knee and there is some fluid in there.”

Maybe we should lay of Ranieri, Vincenzo came off cos off injury not tactics.
