ITALY professor is optimistic over Andrea Pirlo’s return despite he suffers from calf strain.
There were in the peninsula fears that the Milan midfielder will be ruled out of the World Cup following a calf injury, but the 31-year-old is trying different types of treatments and it’s working well.
Italy national team doctor, Enrico Castellacci believes Pirlo will be fit for the Slovakia match on June 24, and if not by then, he will be there for his national side in the next stage, should Italy reach it.

Castellacci told: “Pirlo is training also now, this morning he underwent some tests which confirmed his improvements. Things are going well. He will try to recover for the Slovakia match, or at least for the last sixteen.”
In the first match of Italy, Riccardo Montolivo of Fiorentina replaced Pirlo in his role. That match, against Paraguay ended in 1-1 draw. Before the match with Slovakia, Italy will face New Zealand.
