 Gonzalo Canale is doubtful for Italy |
Italy coach Pierre Berbizier has several injury concerns ahead of Saturday's visit to Murrayfield. Centre Gonzalo Canale, fly-half Roland De Marigny and flanker Alessandro Zanni missed training on Wednesday due to a variety of ailments.
And another flanker, Josh Sole, has already been ruled out the trip to Scotland because of an elbow injury.
The versatile Mauro Bergamasco is also a doubt after he missed a training match against the Under-21 side.
The Azzurri have lost their opening two matches in the 2007 Six Nations, 39-3 at home to France and 20-7 to England at Twickenham.
But team manager Marco Bollesan spoke on Tuesday of going to Murrayfield in confident mood.
