 Righetti To Rest On Sunday

29.08.2003

Italy have their final warm-up game on Sunday against Germany before leaving for the European Championships.

Azzurri coach Carlo Recalcati, his men in buoyant mood after beating Russia and then hosts Turkey to win the Efes Pilsen World Cup II last weekend, will have all of his players available for Sunday's friendly in Berlin with the exception of 6ft 5in guard Alex Righetti.

The Lottomatica Roma star, who averaged more than 11 points and a steal per game in qualifying, is still recovering from a sprained ankle he picked up in the semi-final win over Russia.

Righetti should be fit for Italy's opening match on September 5 in Sweden against Slovenia.
Italy, the 1999 European champions, will leave Germany for Stockholm on Monday.
