However, defender Leonardo Bonucci has been left out of the 21-man squad announced on the Juventus website (www.juventus.com), as manager Antonio Conte rests players ahead of Tuesday's Champions League home clash with Real Madrid.

"Quagliarella is finally available, while (Sebastian) Giovinco has also overcome problems with his foot," Conte said in a news conference on Friday.

"I've thought about scientific rotation over this period," he added in reference to the Madrid game. "I won't tell you who is out, but I've already decided."

Juventus are third in Serie A on 25 points, level with Napoli in second and five behind leaders AS Roma.
