An echography and magnetic resonance test on FC Barcelona's Gianluca Zambrotta confirmed the Italian ace defender has torn muscles in his right leg and will be out of action for about four weeks. Zambrotta lept off after just 20 minutes in the game against Real Zaragoza, replaced by Oleguer Presas. Gianluca had sustained the tear while wresting the ball off Zaragoza defender, Ricardo Oliviera. The absence of the Italian defender gives more homework for both FC Barcelona's coach Frank Rijkaard and the Italian national team coach, Donadoni, who both depend on the skillful defender's great contribution to the game whenever he's on the field. However, Rijkaard has repalcements like Lilian Thuram and returning captain Carles Puyol whose traditional role was the right-full back position before being shifted to the central defence area.
