 Italian captain Fabio Cannavaro Italian captain Fabio Cannavaro possibly came out the latest starting regular to miss Real Madrid's Champions League tie against Bayern Munich on Wednesday due to injury. The defender, who captained Italy to victory at the World Cup last summer in Germany, aggravated his thigh muscle problem during training and was forced out of Real's eve-of-match session at the Allianz Arena. Real, holding a 3-2 lead after the first leg of the first knockout round tie, had been hit by David Beckham and Jose Antonio Reyes' definite bowing out. The loss of Cannavaro would be another blow to them. "Cannavaro played a great World Cup here and I'd love for him to have a great game again on Wednesday," Real coach Fabio Capello said at his news conference before the training session. 2007-03-07
