Category: <b>General</b><br><br>Alessandro Del Piero has recovered from a thigh problem and scored in today’s training session as he vies for a starting spot against Fiorentina.
The Juventus captain missed both legs of the ill-fated Champions League quarter-final against Arsenal and his team has scored just once in his absence over four matches.
He proved his fitness this morning when he took part in the traditional game between ranks after training and scored a goal.
David Trezeguet is not fully fit, having only trained in the gym since Wednesday’s 0-0 draw with the Gunners.
Coach Fabio Capello could therefore opt to gamble with Pinturicchio in the starting line-up against Fiorentina, but there are reports suggesting he’ll opt for safety first with Marcelo Zalayeta partnering Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
As a large group of the Bianconeri Ultra’ already called Del Piero’s name as they hurled abuse at Ibrahimovic during the closing stages of the Arsenal tie at the Delle Alpi, it’s likely such a decision would create further tension between the tactician and the fans.
Emerson is also struggling for fitness, so Giuliano Giannichedda could keep his place after impressing in Europe midweek, this time accompanying Patrick Vieira in the centre.
Pavel Nedved and Mauro Camoranesi should take up the flanks, while Robert Kovac replaces the suspended Fabio Cannavaro in central defence with the returning Lilian Thuram – surprisingly left on the bench for the Arsenal clash.
Jonathan Zebina and Gianluca Zambrotta take the full-back roles, but Juventus still aren’t talking to the Press after imposing a ‘period of reflection’ for the club.<br><br>Source: Football Italia
