Juventus captain Alessandro del Piero has told his players to use tonight's Coppa Italia tie with Napoli to spark their season.

Juve are in crisis after losing three consecutive Serie A matches.

"This morning I got back into gear with some gym work, trying not to catch a chill," wrote Del Piero on his official website.

"I hope not to feel the flu effects in the next few days. Tomorrow I'd like to resume training with the squad.

"Only then can we decide, along with the Coach and medical staff, whether I should make the trip to Milan.

"On Thursday we'll play for access to the Coppa Italia semi-final against Inter. It's the right opportunity to get back on our feet."
