However, Pirlo has not trained with the rest of his teammates at Vinovo today, according to TuttoJuve.
The Gazzetta dello Sport is also pessimistic about the Italian international’s propects, as it appears that the former Milan man has not recovered fully from a thigh injury.
Pirlo is not the only headache facing Bianconero Coach Max Allegri, as he must decide between a 3-5-2 and a 4-3-1-2 system.
It’s believed that the former Milan Coach is currently leaning toward the added defensive solidity offered by a back three, but much will depend on the fitness of Andrea Barzagli.
Barzagli has only just returned from a lengthy lay-off with an achilles injury, making his first start this season in the win over Palermo on Saturday evening.
The Old Lady require only a draw to progress to the Quarter Finals of the Champions League, having emerged with a 2-1 win in the first leg.
