SENDAI - Italian national team coach Giovanni Trapattoni is troubled over the team's injury problems on the eve of Sunday's friendly match with the Japanese club Kashima. Juventus striker Alessandro Del Piero had to miss the regular training due to a muscle problem, while Francesco Totti is still recovering from an injury.

Zanetti, Gattuso and Zambrotta have shortness of breath, however Trapattoni is still optimistic, as the defence players Maldini and Nesta performed their best in the training and the recent matches.
