Will Injuries effect Italy's Performance in the World Cup

The great international team has a big struggle in the cup, the countries best players are out with injuries. Stephan El Shaarawy out with a foot injury but he will most likely return but Mario Balotelli out with an injury to his eye and shoulder.In my personal opinion I believe he will return in time for the cup because of his superb recovery rate and his strength and bravery unlike no other player. As of now Italy's position in the world cup can't be predicted because of the injuries.If the players recover in time I can see Italy winning the cup.
