Sorry, but Trezeguet is injured 
& Deschamps has ruled him out;-
In his pre-match press conference this afternoon, Deschamps spoke about the build-up to the game and the players he has available: “Let’s start with the attack, where unfortunately we will be without Trezeguet who has a muscle problem. Zalayeta, on the other hand, will be fined, as he was supposed to return from leave today but hasn’t. Palladino is still out of action. That leaves Bojinov, Guzman and Del Piero, who only resumed training a short time ago and still doesn’t have 90 minutes in his legs. He will therefore play part of the game; I’m yet to decide whether I’ll play him from the start and see how he gets on, or whether I’ll bring him on later. He certainly won’t be able to play the full 90 minutes. In defence, we are without Legrottaglie, and I still can’t call on Boumsong as the transfer has not yet gone through. This is a real pain as he is ready to play”. Absences apart, the team is on form and showing positive signs: “We’re getting better all the time – Deschamps continued – from a physical point of view as well. At Cesena, for example, we gave a lot more physically than I expected and, despite not having taken all our chances, we created a lot, which is always very important”. ....
I think Legro is also out because of an injury to his right thigh & is expected to be unavailable for around 25 days.

It's a shame no TV-channels are broadcasting this game. I wish I was in Napoli now, getting ready to enter San Paolo. 
But I guess the live update from juventus.com will have to do. I might try one of the radiolinks too, eventhough I don't understand Italian.
As for the game I think we will start like this:
Buffon
Balzaretti - Birindelli - Kovac - Chiellini
Marchionni - Zanetti - Giannichedda - Nedved
Bojinov - Del Piero
We might also go for a 4-2-3-1 formation with Camo on the right side, Marchionni on the left side and Nedved in the middle behind Bojinov. It all depends on whether DD thinks Del Piero is ready to start a game yet or not.
