Pavel Nedved is back

Nedved: «I'll try and make it for Saturday»

Pavel Nedved is back; he's feeling better and will try to make it against AC Milan. This is the best and most reassuring news for Juventus fans after Wednesday's training session.

The Czech player worked with his team mates. In fact, he worked more than his team mates (even though some precautions were taken, such as avoiding headers). Indeed, after an intense session, he stayed a long time on the pitch with birthday boy Nocerino (23 today) trying out shots at goal. Before going back to the changing rooms, Nedved gave a short interview to Juventus Channel.

«I feel better – Pavel said – I'm a little weak, but that's normal as I've been inactive for three days. I trained intensely today and I'll try to make Saturday’s game, even though I'll have to be 100% fit to play, otherwise it’ll better if a fitter team mate takes my place. AC Milan? After going out of the Champions League, this game is vital for them and I thought they improved in the last match they played. As always, it'll be a balanced game, decided by episodes».

Getting back to the training session, Ranieri was able to work with most of his squad. Only Zanetti trained separately, with fitness coach Andrea Scanavino. The only player not to train at all was third goalkeeper Novembre, who has the flu. The schedule until Saturday includes two more morning sessions; tomorrow's session, on Thursday April 10, will be followed by a Mauro German Camoranesi press conference, beginning at 1 pm.
