不过意大利媒体表示托帝的这次缺阵会给卡萨诺带来首发上场的机会，呵呵，就看小卡抓不抓得住机会了
Totti injury opens Cassano door

Antonio Cassano’s chances of making his Italy debut against Poland have increased after an injury to Francesco Totti.
The Roma captain won’t take part in Wednesday’s friendly because of a back problem but he may be back for next Sunday’s test against Romania.
Totti spoke to national boss Giovanni Trapattoni earlier today where they agreed that the player would remain in Italy to receive treatment from his club.
That enforced absence may now see Cassano finally make his Azzurri debut after he won his maiden call-up last night.
"I was hoping that my performances this season would convince the Coach to select me," Cassano told ‘Controcampo’ on Monday.
"His comments earlier this season suggested that I wouldn’t be included and I wasn’t expecting to be named in the squad."
Trap had openly claimed that the 21-year-old Cassano was still too young for the national side. But the former Bari starlet now has a chance to impress.
"I’ve been waiting for this moment for years," he continued. "The national side has always been a real ambition of mine.
"Especially because I have to admit that some players who have been included in the past were not as good as me. This is my shot to convince Trap to keep calling me up."
One of the main question marks over Cassano is his attitude, one that has seen him have numerous disagreements with Roma boss Fabio Capello and U-21 tactician Claudio Gentile.
"Today’s Cassano is a lot different from the immature one of a few years ago, the one that brought Gentile to despair," he promised.
