Trez misses Madrid trip Nedved is included
David Trezeguet won’t make the trip to Madrid, though Pavel Nedved is in the squad, while Andriy Shevchenko could miss the second leg against Manchester United.
The French international also missed Saturday’s 0-0 draw at Messina with a bout of flu and he has still not recovered from the virus.
Juventus medical staff claim he is in no condition to travel, so Trezeguet will remain in Turin, ensuring Alessandro Del Piero partners Zlatan Ibrahimovic upfront. Paolo Montero and Olivier Kapo are also staying behind.
There was some good news for Fabio Capello, as Nedved is included in the side flying out to Spain for the first leg of the knockout round against Real.
The 2003 European Player of the Year has not set foot on the field since suffering a sprained knee in late January, but is back in training.
Nonetheless, it’s unlikely he’ll be able to start the encounter at the Bernabeu Stadium, so Capello could be forced into another tactical reshuffle.
Juventus squad:
Buffon, Ferrara, Tacchinardi, Pessotto, Emerson, Ibrahimovic, Del Piero, Nedved, Chimenti, Birindelli, Camoranesi, Appiah, Zambrotta, Blasi, Thuram, Bonnefoi, Olivera, Zalayeta, Zebina, Cannavaro

Having been paired together five times in UEFA competition, Real Madrid CF and Juventus FC are familiar foes with honours evenly spread.
The Turin giants hold the recent upper hand by virtue of their 2002/03 UEFA Champions League semi-final defeat of Madrid, although they would ultimately lose the final on penalties to AC Milan at Old Trafford. Madrid's Brazilian duo Ronaldo and Roberto Carlos both scored in the Spanish capital, where a David Trezeguet goal gave the visitors hope for the Stadio Delle Alpi return. Trezeguet also set Juve on their way in Turin before Alessandro Del Piero and Pavel Nedved extended the advantage. Former Juve playmaker Zinedine Zidane scored a late consolation for Madrid.
In 1998, a Predrag Mijatovic goal in Amsterdam separated the sides as Madrid ended a 38-year wait to win their sixth European Champion Clubs' Cup. The two sides also met in the 1995/96 Champions League quarter-finals with Madrid winning 1-0 at home and Juve 2-0 in Turin. Raúl González scored the only goal at the Santiago Bernabéu stadium, but goals from Del Piero and Michele Padovano saw Juve through. The Italian side would go on to win the competition 4-2 on penalties against AFC Ajax following a 1-1 draw in Rome.
They also locked horns in the second round of the 1986/87 European Cup when Madrid won on penalties after both teams triumphed 1-0 at home. Emilio Butragueño scored for Madrid in the Spanish capital while Antonio Cabrini was on the mark for Juve. Madrid would advance to the semi-finals before losing out to FC Bayern München, the eventual beaten finalists.
The two teams first met in the 1961/62 European Cup when a replay in Paris was required to find a winner. Madrid won 1-0 in Turin, Alfredo di Stéfano settling Juve's first match against Spanish opposition in UEFA competition. The Italians responded with a similar victory in the Spanish capital thanks to Enrique Omar Sivori's goal, the first time Madrid had lost to an Italian club at home. Madrid would win the replay at Parc des Princes following goals from Felo, Luis Del Sol and Justo Tejada in a 3-1 success, but the Spanish giants would lose to defending champions SL Benfica in the final at Amsterdam's Olympisch stadium.
Overall, Madrid have entertained Italian opposition on 23 occasions, winning 19 times with two draws and as many defeats. They have visited Italy 22 times, winning five, drawing four and losing 13, although three of those five wins have come in their last five trips; including a 3-0 defeat of AS Roma in the group stage of this season's competition when Luís Figo scored twice.
Juventus won twice in Spain, drawn four times and lost the remaining eleven matches. Their last win came at the quarter-final stage of the 2002/03 Champions League in Barcelona before they accounted for Madrid at the subsequent stage. In Turin, Juve have also hosted Spanish rivals 17 times, winning ten, drawing five and losing twice. Their first defeat was by Madrid in 1962 and their only other loss in Turin came in last season's Champions League to RC Deportivo La Coruña at the first knockout round stage
