Enzo Maresca was presented to the media at 2pm on Monday afternoon. Maresca, 19, joins from West Bromwich Albion in the English First Division and could be included in the squad for Juventus' away game in Udine on Saturday. The Pontecagnano-born midfielder is captain of the Italy U-20 side coached by Claudio Gentile, and arrives in Turin after an 18-month spell in England. He was formerly with Cagliari and Milan as a junior. Juan Esnaider and Daniel Fonseca are both showing signs of recovery and could be added to Carlo Ancelotti’s squad for the weekend. Paolo Montero faces a one-match ban after picking up a booking against Cagliari and will miss the Udinese game. Mark Iuliano should deputise.

And finally. Alessandro Del Piero swapped playmaking duties for goalkeeping ones in a charity match organised by former Italy and Napoli midfielder Salvatore Bagni. Carlo Ancelotti, Ciro Ferrara and Filippo Inzaghi also took the field to register their support for the Daniele Bigi commemorative appeal.
