According to team doctors, Sbertoli, who is the team’s setter, and who also plays for the Italian national team, suffered a fifth left metatarsal fracture after a fall, which will have him out from 6 to 8 weeks. Fanuli, the team’s libero, suffered a more serious left medial meniscus injury due to a knee hypertension during a dig, and a return timetable has not yet been determined for his case.

The rest of the team, including Team USA player Taylor Averril, will have to step up and make up for the loss of two of its most important players, if Milano is to continue its successful run in the league.
