Juventus are expected to have Alessandro Del Piero back when they face Roma in a crunch Serie A match next week. Del Piero missed Juve's opener against Chievo on Sunday with a back problem, but the 35-year-old seems ready for the Olimpico encounter. "I did not play against Chievo because of the after-effects from an inflammation, but I am counting on being there in Rome on Sunday," he told Italian media. Del Piero, who is set for his 16th year in Turin, has been Juve's top scorer during the past three seasons.
