Italy skipper Fabio Cannavaro will miss his side's Confederations Cup opener against the United States due to injury.

The Real Madrid defender is suffering from a calf strain that will rule him out of Monday's tie.

It remains to be seen whether he can shake off the injury in time to play in Italy's following game against Egypt on Thursday.

The world champions will also face Brazil in Group B of the eight-team tournament.
