Del Piero back for Brugge
Monday 12 September, 2005
Alessandro Del Piero has recovered from injury to be included in the Juventus squad for their Champions League clash against Brugge.
The captain was a major doubt for the game but has fought back from a thigh problem to be included in the trip.
Del Piero, who suffered a small strain on international duty last week, could now make his season debut in Belgium on Wednesday.
The Italian ace didn’t feature in the Week 1 win over Chievo, while he was unavailable for Sunday’s 4-0 destruction of Empoli.
Capello, who today insisted that all his strikers would play a part in his plans this term, has named a 20-man squad for the game.
Goalkeeper Gigi Buffon, following shoulder surgery, and defender Gianluca Pagliuca are the only significant absentees.
Squad: Abbiati, Chimenti; Gladstone , Cannavaro, Balzaretti, Zambrotta, Chiellini , Kovac; Blasi, Giannichedda, Olivera, Camoranesi, Vieira, Emerson, Nedved, Ibrahimovic, Del Piero, Trezeguet, Mutu, Zalayeta.
