Nesta is confident he will return to play for Italy again in this World Cup. But
Italy must advance to the semifinals in order for that to happen.
Nesta will not play in the team's quarterfinal game against Ukraine on Friday
due to a leg injury.
But the AC Milan centerback believes he will be able to return next week.
"I will do everything possible to recover for the semifinal but I am not fit
to play against Ukraine," Nesta said. "I am confident my teammates will do the
job."
Italy advanced to the quarterfinals with a 1-0 win over Australia on Monday.
