    Quote from USAvolleyfan


    It's just a symbol of who you think about when talking about Italian volleyball.. Like Logan in USA :D :D :D


    And Gamova in Russia.

    Paola Cardullo has her knee ligament broken again and needs a surgery. Her season is over ;( No WCH for her

    Cardullo must be one of the most injury-prone libero in the world. Or at least one of the unluckiest. It seems like every other year she is injured :(

    :white: :(

    As 2 years ago, a serious injury after a collision with la Picci
    What a pity, these past months Paola has found her great Cardu touch again ;(

    Enrica Merlo deserves to play a top tournament too ! She can be wonderful.

    What about Fabris and Heyrman? Are they injured or will they play against Busto Arsizio on sunday?

    Fabris had sore throat but should be able to play this Sunday, Heyrman has back pain, Ruseva has problems to her leg muscles and Piccinini has physical problems too... :white:
    As for the libero position, Modena now needs to transfer a new one but it can't be a foreign libero otherwise, unless Paggi plays as starter, there will be only 2 Italians in Starting-Six (minimum is 3)... and I have no idea about any possible name since all good italian liberos are under contract in other teams, except Puerari who hasn't been playing since a long time and Paola Croce who retired one year ago :S

    How is the foreign player rule? In starting six, there is only piccinini and Rondon are Italian?

    There must be at least 3 Italian players in starting seven (libero included).
    Modena so far had Rondon + Piccinini + Cardullo .
    Therefore Cardullo can be replaced only by another Italian libero, unless Paggi plays instead of Heyrman/Ruseva.

    But they have 2nd libero with Italian passport - Petrachi. She can't play on this level, like Beatrice in Cortese?
    Don't worry about limits. They have now Piccinini, Rondon, Petrachi, Paggi and Crisanti. Picci and Giula for sure in starting seven, if Ruseva or Heyrman were on bench - it won't be a big waste... I think they quietly can buy libero from abroad :)
