There were major doubts that the captain would be able to play on caretaker manager Ciro Ferrara’s debut in Tuscany.

Del Piero got a knock in training to his thigh during the week and risked missing out altogether, but he took part in the full session today and is in the 22-man squad.

It remains to be seen whether he can start and the same goes for teammates De Ceglie and Marchisio.

Giorgio Chiellini returns from suspension to bolster the defence, but Zdenek Grygera is out after pulling a muscle in training.

The Bianconeri are without a victory in seven Serie A rounds and are now just one point clear of Fiorentina in the battle for third place.

Juventus squad: Buffon, Chiellini, Mellberg, Zebina, Zanetti, Salihamidzic, Amauri, Iaquinta, Del Piero, Nedved, Chimenti, Manninger, Camoranesi, Trezeguet, Poulsen, Marchisio, Giovinco, De Ceglie, Tiago, Marchionni, Legrottaglie, Ariaudo
