Juve Name Artmedia Squad

The Bianconeri travel to Bratislava on Wednesday for the second leg of their Champions League preliminary tie against Artmedia. Juve already have one foot in the group stages after thrashing the Slovakian champions 4-0 in the first leg in Turin last week, with Mauro Camoranesi, Alex Del Piero, Nicola Legrottaglie and Giorgio Chiellini all getting on the scoresheet.However, Chiellini will be unavailable for the trip after suffering a knee injury that will rule him out of action until the end of September.In better news though, Pavel Nedved is fit enough to travel after recovering from the injury he picked up on Thursday night against Napoli in the Birra Moretti Trophy.Juventus coach Claudio Ranieri may opt to rotate a number of players, due to the fact that the new Serie A season kicks off next Sunday, with the Old Lady facing a tough trip to Tuscany to play Fiorentina.Juventus squad: 1 Buffon, 4 Mellberg, 7 Salihamidzic, 8 Amauri, 9 Iaquinta, 10 Del Piero, 11 Nedved, 12 Chimenti, 13 Manninger, 15 Knezevic, 16 Camoranesi, 17 Trezeguet, 18 Poulsen, 19 Marchisio, 20 Giovinco, 21 Grygera, 22 Sissoko, 27 Ekdal, 28 Molinaro, 29 De Ceglie, 33 Legrottaglie, 41 Ariaudo.
