Cannavaro injured by van Nistelrooy in training
Fabio Cannavaro has been injured in training by team-mate Ruud van Nistelrooy, suffering a sprained ankle. The Italian Ballon dOr winner was tackled heavily by his Dutch colleague towards the end of a training match on Thursday morning.
Cannavaro reacted with obvious distress, calling for medical attention and refusing the handshake Van Nistelrooy offered him to apologise.
A medical examination confirmed the extent of the damage, which will probably rule Cannavaro out of the weekends game against Sevilla.
"I have got a lot of pain in my ankle, I dont know if I will be able to play."
The 33-year-old had just returned from a muscular injury that kept him out of Reals last two games against Athletic Bilbao and Dynamo Kiev.
Van Nistelrooy was rested for Wednesdays game in Kiev.
