Soccer: De Rossi out of WC qualifiers

(ANSA) - Rome, October 2 - Daniele De Rossi left Italy training camp Monday after taking a knock to his right knee in AS Roma's 2-0 win at AC Milan Sunday.
    The midfielder will not play in Italy's upcoming World Cup qualifiers against Macedonia and Albania.
    PSG's Marco Verratti and Torino's Andrea Belotti are already out of the qualifiers, from which Italy only needs a point to qualify for next year's tournament in Russia. Italy is set to qualify behind leaders Spain and will therefore have to go through a play-off to secure final qualification.
