Deputy Di Vaio
Trezeguet picked up the injury two weeks ago but Juve coach Marcello Lippi had been hopeful that the French international striker would be fit to face Barcelona. Trezeguet, who has scored twice in the Champions League this season, was not named as part of the travelling party due to fly to Spain today and his place in attack will likely be taken by Marco Di Vaio.
Level at 1-1
Di Vaio partnered Alessandro Del Piero in the 2-1 win over AS Roma on Saturday that left Juve leading Serie A by six points from second-placed Internazionale FC. The only other alternative available to Lippi in attack is Uruguayan striker Marcelo Zalayeta. Juve face a difficult task at the Nou Camp after the first leg in Turin ended 1-1.
