Mario Gomez is back for Fiorentina’s Coppa Italia semi-final against Juventus, but many others miss out.

It kicks off on Thursday at 19.45 GMT and is the first leg in Turin.

Gomez was ruled out of the Viola’s 1-0 victory away to Inter at the weekend.

The German international returns to the squad, but Khouma Babacar, Stefan Savic and David Pizarro join the absentee list.

It means there are only two pure strikers available for Vincenzo Montella.
