Stramaccioni still has some doubts.  The first concerns Stankovic who yesterday held a training session just by himself: it is to see whether using him would lead to another problem or not.  If he does not make it then Cambiasso would take his place as a central defender in front of the defense alongside Obi (or Poli) and Guarin.  In the attack? After making the return after such a long break, can Alvarez start another game from the first minute just after a few days?  Alvarez, statistically, is the best crosser of the ball in the team.  So it is up to Strama who could think of Forlan again who was on the bench against Siena.
