Italy midfielder Gennaro Gattuso has been ruled out of Wednesday's World Cup qualifier against Georgia after bizarrely fracturing his left hand on Sunday. The AC Milan midfielder was taking part in a friendly game and he stumbled into the dug-out where the bench was placed. Scans proved that he sustained fractures in his left hand and wrist and Calcio Italia confirmed that he will miss Georgia's encounter. The Azzurri manager Marcelo Lippi will have to do without injured Fabio Grosso and Alessandro Gamberini.
