Italy and Juventus jolly Gianluca Pessotto limped off the pitch moments after the Italy-Uruguay friendly kicked off due to a knee twist that could force him to miss the up and coming World Cup.

A better picture of the situation will be available tomorrow morning when the Juventus medical will perform further tests to evaluate the extent of the injury.

Pessotto is considered by Trapattoni to be a very precious piece of the Azzurri puzzle as he can play both as a left back and as a left wing.
