Zambrotta may need leg amputation due to rare condition

Italian football legend Gianluca Zambrotta revealed he faces a rare medical condition that may require amputation of his legs. This follows years of physical struggles since retiring from professional football. Zambrotta, a 2006 World Cup winner, will need surgery to straighten his legs and receive artificial knees, with a high possibility of needing full prosthetic legs in the future. The condition causes his legs to bow outwards. The 48-year-old, who played 98 times for Italy, has consulted numerous surgeons, but the cause of his condition remains unclear. He is scheduled for knee surgery soon, but the long-term prognosis is uncertain.
