19 Bianconeri Called-Up For Match In Rome
Saving energy. With all the upcoming matches this is inevitable. There was only a day and a half to prepare the match against Napoli after the return from London and just a bit more for that against Lazio in the Coppa Italia during which to charge-up the batteries and have all the team available.
Juventus will be kicking off the Coppa Italia semi-finals. On Tuesday night the bianconeri will play the first leg at the Roma Olimpico against Lazio. The match will be live on Rai 1 at 20:45hrs (with a recording on Juventus Channel at midnight). On Wednesday it will then be the turn of Sampdoria-Inter.
As opposed to all the other rounds played up to now the matches will be on home and away basis with the possibility of extra time and penalties in case of equal scores at the end of the 180 minutes. The return matches will be played at the end of April.
Buffon, Del Piero and Legrottaglie will not be part of the squad. The goalkeeper and the captain will be allowed to rest with Manninger defending the post from the first minute. The defender will be forced to miss the match due to a knee injury suffered during the Saturday match.
Chimenti is once again available as are two Primavera players fresh from the Viareggio Cup: goalkeeper Pinsoglio and central defender Ariaudo.
Below is the list of the 19 players called up by Ranieri for the Tuesday match:
3. Chiellini
4. Mellberg
7. Salihamidzic
8. Amauri
9. Iaquinta
11. Nedved
12. Chimenti
13. Manninger
