Gamberini dislocates shoulder Alessandro Gamberini could be out of action for quite a while after dislocating his shoulder one minute into the Italy game with Cyprus.
The Fiorentina defender was in the starting XI, but lasted only 60 seconds before he fell awkwardly and was substituted.
Initial reports from the local hospital in Larnaca suggest there were complications, as the medical staff could not get the shoulder to pop back in.
There is no word yet on how long Gamberini will be sidelined, but it's likely to be at least a fortnight.
If the ligaments have been damaged in the shoulder, then the time out of action will be far longer.
Italy also lost defender Fabio Grosso to a back injury in the opening minutes of tonight's World Cup qualifier, but his condition is not thought to be serious.
