Juventus striker Alessandro Del Piero should start on the bench against Deportivo La Coruna in the Champions League next week.

The Italy International has been missing since picking up a thigh injury against Atalanta in early February.

Pavel Nedved, meanwhile, is likely to be fit for that match, although may miss the Udinese game on Sunday as he has been ordered to rest after he coughed up blood following the 3-0 win over Inter.
