The striker made a splendid debut for the Bianconeri last week, scoring two of their five goals against Livorno.

However, he was not included in the 21-man squad travelling to Sardinia, officially for “an indisposition that kept him awake all night.”

It is rumoured this was a stomach bug or food poisoning and so Iaquinta has been allowed to rest in Turin this weekend.

“I am ready and able,” said the captain in his Press Conference. “The bruise to my foot has gone down and for the last two days I’ve been training regularly with my teammates. I also hope to be called for the two Italy games.”
