From the papers

In the papers today, team news and rumours from the transfer market.

The GAZZETTA DELLO SPORT headlines the return of David Trezeguet, lined up in attack. The Frenchman determinedly reports: "I have been training hard to play. I want to help Juve to win the Scudetto". There is relief that the Italian General Election date has now been fixed for 13 May, and therefore will not affect the top Juve-Roma clash a week earlier. Del Piero will appear on the pitch on Sunday despite his suspension. On behalf of a local youth charity, he will be engaged in offering a symbol of peace to his Reggina opponents.

CORRIERE DELLO SPORT busies itself with the transfer market. While the big clubs are looking for weighty buys, Juve coach Ancelotti prefers to go after two talented Psv Eindhoven players, both under the age of 23. Defender, Hofland and Danish midfielder Rommendahl both played in the side who knocked out Parma, and they only cost 25 bn Lire! There is also confirmation of Ancelotti's selection of Trezeguet for his starting line up.

TUTTOSPORT is also focused on transfer moves. Also at Psv, Serb goalscorer Kezman is keen to reassure his possibile Bianconero employers that he will soon leave his current club, although he is worried about beaurocratic obstructions in the way. Rumours also of Juve interest in Nedved, now that he is available from Lazio. Again, there is column space for Del Piero's peace gestures, and Trezeguet's ambitions to win the Scudetto. Aside from the charity work, Alex Del Piero philosophically reflects that, while suspended, he'll be training to impress against Lazio. Iuliano is also fit to play, but will watch from the stands.
