After Filippo Inzaghi having been dropped for last Wednesday's Italy match against Georgia, it is Alex's turn.

The Juve number 10 didn't take part of Friday's training session because if a slight laryngitis. But unfortunately his situation didn't get any better so he will have to skip the match against Bari, for the Italian Serie A. It is yet unknown if he will be available for next Tuesday's tough Champions League match against Deportivo la Coruna, at Spain.

With this, Carlo Ancelotti won't have Del Piero and Inzaghi available for his selection, as the latter hasn't recovered from the flu either. However, the coach has good options for the attack: Yugoslav Darko Kovacevic, Argentine Juan Esnaider and French World Cup and Euro 2000 winner David Trezeguet.
