    Italy midfielder Andrea Pirlo is set to miss his country's first two World Cup group games against Paraguay and New Zealand, with a calf strain.

    The 31-year-old, who helped Italy win the tournament in 2006, is set to be replaced by Riccardo Montolivo.

    "Pirlo is a special player," said the 25-year-old Fiorentina player.

    "There are two or three Italian players that can play in his position when he is missing. I have played in Pirlo's position this season."

    He added: "In 2006, I watched the World Cup on TV, now I am here. This is the most important tournament in my career and I am thrilled.

    "The experience of playing in the Champions League this year has given me added confidence and I am ready to have a say."

    AC Milan playmaker Pirlo, named man of the match in the 2008 final against France, could return in time for the Azzurri's final Group F match against Slovakia on 24 June.

        Will be very interesting to see who finishes second, because they'll play England in the quarters. ( As long as England finish top )

        I don't know who I'd like to play.

        Serbia and Ghana are both very dangerous.

            If Cesc goes, we should go in for him.

            He was fantastic and ran the show today, the best player on the pitch imo.

              Cesc is going tbh.

              Barca seem determined to get the guy.

                Cesc has the keys to the Spanish Car handed down.

                That's clear.

                      England > Netherlands > Germany

                      In that order.
