Damn it, why does it always happen to us. Totti gets injured every year at the same time
Totti out for crucial matches
--------------------------------------
Francesco Totti will miss Italy’s crucial Euro 2004 qualifiers against Wales on September 6 and Serbia & Montenegro four days later.
According to preliminary reports the Roma forward will be out for approximately two weeks after injuring his hip in the 2-2 draw with Real Betis at the Stadio Olimpico on Monday. Already suspended for Roma’s first match of the season against Udinese this Sunday, Totti will now miss both internationals as well.
Italy have been in fine form recently and have won their last six games. After Wales’ shock defeat to Serbia & Montenegro, the Azzurri are now looking to secure top spot in Group 9. Giovanni Trapattoni looks set to use Juventus new boy Fabrizio Miccoli as an able deputy for the injured Totti.
