Pavel Nedved is in doubt to start against Lazio after pulling up with a thigh problem during today’s training session.
The ex-Biancocelesti hero was set to be one of the stars of this crunch match at the Delle Alpi, but his presence is now uncertain.
Nedved limped off during Saturday’s session clutching his thigh and should he not make it we would see Mauro Camoranesi on his left flank with Gianluca Zambrotta on the right.
If this attacking formation is fielded, then it makes it more likely that Antonio Conte will replace Alessio Tacchinardi in the centre.
Juventus are already without David Trezeguet for this top of the table clash. Although the Frenchman made an impressive return midweek against Basle, his full Serie A comeback is postponed.
Last season’s Capocannoniere rushed his return from a knee injury two months ago and has not featured since, so the medical staff are taking things slowly this time around.
Trezeguet has not even been included in the squad for the Sunday evening game, so either Marco Di Vaio or ex-Lazio man Marcelo Salas will partner Alessandro Del Piero.
Juventus continue their press silence and will not speak with journalists before tomorrow’s big match.
Probable line-up: Buffon; Thuram, Iuliano, Montero, Birindelli; Camoranesi, Conte, Davids; Nedved; Del Piero, Salas
