05/26/2002. Argentina striker Claudio Caniggia has been ruled out of his country's World Cup opener against Nigeria on June 2, as the result of a troublesome knee injury.
The veteran speed-demon originally twisted his left knee while playing for Rangers against Celtic and his recovery has not been as swift as hoped.
The news is not too tough a blow for Argentina, as Caniggia is thought to be last in line in the tournament favourites' ultra-competitive strikers' pecking-order – behind Crespo, Batistuta, Claudio and Gustavo Lopez.
hmmmm........:(
