U21 Euro 2007: Curci feels the strain

Italy goalkeeper Gianluca Curci looks set to sit out Thursday's vital Group B fixture against England as he struggles with a groin strain suffered in the opening loss to Serbia last night.

The 21-year-old Roma player left the field midway through the first half in Nijmegen clutching the back of his leg after overstretching while making a save.

Brescia's Emiliano Viviano replaced Curci in the 1-0 defeat and would start against England in Arnhem should the No1 fail to recover. Curci spent time with the physiotherapist today and will have further scans on Wednesday.
