World Cup: Italy's midfielder could miss semifinal

Camoranesi picked up the injury in Italy's 3-0 quarterfinal victory over Ukraine on Friday. He sat out a training session Sunday and was planning to test his fitness in training Monday, team physician Enrico Castellacci said.

The Argentine-born Camoranesi has started two of Italy's five games and provides offense from his right wing position.

Italy is already without suspended midfielder Daniele De Rossi, who will complete a four-match on Tuesday for throwing an elbow to the face of United States forward Brian McBride in the first round.

Defender Alessandro Nesta is also likely to miss the game with a right thigh injury, while reserve goalkeeper Angelo Peruzzi is battling back pain.
