Atalanta here we come!
Quote
Juventus captain Alessandro Del Piero's return to action is imminent, and he could feature against Atalanta on Saturday night.
'Pinturicchio' was absent from the trip to Maccabi Haifa on Tuesday, despite his full return to fitness. The Italian hitman has recovered from the adductor strain that has kept him away from the pitch. Del Piero has only played ten minutes this season and is eager to play.
According to Il Corriere Dello Sport, the captain may get the nod and wink from coach Ciro Ferrara for this weekend's clash in Bergamo.
Del Piero has been working hard to build his fitness. On Tuesday he worked in the Vinovo gym for over five hours in an attempt to make the cut.
He is likely to feature at some point in the game because Sebastian Giovinco and Vincenzo Iaquinta are injured. Meanwhile, Amauri is suspended, leaving Ferrara with just David Trezeguet and Del Piero to choose from.
Del Piero + Trezegol + Diego.I am ecstatic, Del Piero's time to shine.
Living legend returns, if he does what he can do, welcome back to the National team
