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.
