All together towards Udine

The team are busy preparing their next important fixture. On Sunday the schedule will pit Juventus against dangerous opponents Udinese.

The Friuli-based team, managed by Pasquale Marino, were the first to beat the Bianconeri in the early part of the season and are still in the running for fourth place; they will face Ranieri's men at the Friuli Stadium, a ground where Juventus have had many a great day, especially when they won the title there on May 5 2002.

After the internationals returned to base, the group were able to work at full ranks in today's training session, held in the morning in Vinovo. Alessandro Del Piero hurt his right knee during the session. However it was nothing serious and the Captain will be available for Sunday's game. Claudio Ranieri will name the squad for the game during his traditional press conference on the eve of the match.

At 1 pm, the Manager will speak with the journalists at the Juventus Media Center press room in Vinovo. Live coverage on Juventus Channel.
