Del Piero was at the presentation of Panini's new album cards of football players and the journalists took advantage of this to ask him a few questions about his condition after his recent injury. The mercurial Del Piero said he would be ready to step onto the pitch by Sunday "This week I will train with the rest of the squad" he reported. This weeks match against Perugia brings back sore memories from last season when they lost the Scudetto on the very last day of the tournament.

"It's normal to dwell a bit on the past," Del Piero went on to say but we mustn't let these memories distract us from the task at hand; catching up with Roma." He had words of praise for the leaders of the championship but also gave a warning: "Roma is really deserving it's position as leader but history teaches us that other teams can make up points very quickly."
