That article says Cibocchi has an ankle injury. Nothing about International clearance.

I understood he had clearance early on but is being treated for a bad knock after the Supermarine game.

'This is their first appearance in the third round since 1996/97, when Manchester United ended their interest.'

Calf injury at Supermarine. Needing International clearance has been mentioned since then.

Why would International clearance take so long when Magera's came through in a matter of hours?

Wierd.

It is indeed strange, Milan Misun strange as somebody mentioned in another thread.

Anywho, its mentioned here, just before the Shrews game:

Oliver Risser will again miss out with a groin injury while Alessandro Cibocchi is not available for selection despite returning to full fitness, with the club still waiting on the Italian’s international clearance.

The lack of any movement regarding Cibocchi’s situation by the Italian Football Association has angered Di Canio, who will take action if need be.

“I don’t know if there is a chance to take action against the Italian Football Association but if there is an opportunity to do this I will do it,” he said.

“Even if it is against my country I will do this because I am honest person and I will be tough, even against my brother.

“It is not acceptable and I will make action if I can.

“I will ask the club what exactly are the rules and I will go to FIFA if I need to.”

I hadn't read that Batch, that is indeed a strange situation, I wonder why we would need to take possible legal action against the Italian FA?

Something not quite right there.

Because they haven't issued a clearance certificate.

I suppose the issue will be if an Italian club is still claiming registration of the player perhaps.
