Juventus, joint top of Serie A alongside Udinese after four matches, have striker Mirko Vucinic back from suspension, and defender Andrea Barzagli and long-time absentee Fabio Quagliarella fit for the first "big match" at their atmospheric Juventus Arena against AC Milan on Sunday.
With something of a selection dilemma in attack, coach Antonio Conte, whose side have drawn their last two matches after an impressive start, could well turn to the experience of Alessandro Del Piero.
"Throughout my career Juve-Milan has been the big one," the 36-year old said on his website. I can't wait to feel the electrifying atmosphere inside our new home."
The Rossoneri, 12th with five points from four games, still have Robinho, Gennaro Gattuso and Massimiliano Ambrosini sidelined.
Fiorentina's wantaway midfielder Riccardo Montolivo has been supported by Italy's players' union (AIC) after receiving threatening messages.
"We are in solidarity with Riccardo Montolivo who has always behaved professionally," read a statement on the union website.
"We strongly condemn this unacceptable episode stigmatised by Fiorentina."
According to the Corriere Fiorentino, the Italian international handed in a transfer request, saying he wanted to play for a "big club."
After last weekend's first win of the season at Parma, the mood among the Giallorossi appears much lighter.
"I feel fresh... I'm running and pressing opponents even more than in the past," skipper Francesco Totti told Corriere dello Sport on Tuesday, his 35th birthday, giving the thumbs up to the high-tempo game employed by Spanish coach Luis Enrique.
