Nedved back to boost Juve Thursday 17 March, 2005
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pavel Nedved is keen to make a contribution to Juventus’ run-in after he returned to full fitness.
The Czech ace has been sidelined for a month with a head injury but is now back at the disposal of boss Fabio Capello.
"I’m finally feeling better and I’m happy to be training with my teammates again," said the player who was knocked unconscious in the 1-0 loss at Real Madrid last month.
"I clearly need to keep working hard to find some form but I hope to make a contribution as soon as possible."
Despite his absence, the Old Lady are still top of the League and managed to dump Real out of Europe.
"I’m very happy that my colleagues were able to defeat Real and reach the last eight," he continued.
"That has allowed us and me to continue our adventure in the Champions’ League.
"I now just hope that I have finished paying for my bad luck as I’ve had numerous problems already this year.
"I firstly picked up a knee injury and then the blow at Madrid. From now on, I want to have a say in our season."
Nedved will be in the squad to face Reggina on Saturday even if it is unclear whether he will start on the bench or in the first XI.
Capello seems to be debating whether to field a 4-3-3 or return to a 4-4-2 now that Nedved is back.
However, the tactician also has an offensive problem to resolve after David Trezeguet missed training for a second consecutive day today.
The Frenchman, who scored in the 2-0 second leg win over Real Madrid, is now a major doubt for the Stadio Delle Alpi fixture.
