Juve Welcome Back Del Piero
Juventus forward Alessandro Del Piero has recovered from his minor injury for Wednesday's clash with Catania...
Alessandro Del Piero scored a spectacular freekick against Zenit St. Petersburg in the Champions League last week, but was forced to miss Juventus' 1-0 win in Serie A over Cagliari at the Stadio Sant'Elia on Sunday.
The Bianconeri captain picked up a minor knock near the end of that Champions League match with Zenit, but is now fully recovered and available to Claudio Ranieri once again, according the official Juventus website.
Del Piero is happy to return and of course also pleased with the recent string of victories: "We have achieved a great victory away from home after a difficult game. We are delighted to have begun this important series of matches every three days with victories against Zenit and Cagliari."
The Italian international is likely to start the match against the Sicilians along with the in-form Amauri, while Vincenzo Iaquinta should find himself in a substitute role. Del Piero's quick return is even more important as it had recently been confirmed that David Trezeguet will be missing three to five months of action.
Juve will be confident of obtaining three points when they host Catania, but the Elefanti may be spurred on by the fact they are only one point behind the Bianconeri.
