Materazzi has been seriously adorned in the friendly of the National Team in Budapest. Now he is admitted to Pavia, but the diagnosis suggests that the return to the field can only take place in 2008. In fact, he suffered from a "serious vascular payment" to the right thigh after the strong contusion suffered yesterday in Hungary-Italy: at 45' of the first time he had fallen on the ground in an action of play, with the weight of an opponent on.
This is a rare type of injury, one of the few precedents, say the blue doctors, is that happened to Antonio Conte in the final Champions Juve-Ajax of '96: the Bianconero midfielder remained firm for several months. The investigations of the next few hours will have to provide definitive diagnosis and return time for Marco Materazzi, who at this point inevitably will jump, in addition to Inter's commitments, the next matches of the national team, starting from the challenge with France on September 8.
