Add a new name to the long list of Torino players unavailable for Saturday's match at the Artemio Franchi. Add Recoba's name (Yeah, I know. Who woulda thunk it) to Torino's long queue that will miss out on the fun.

Disciplinary Committee: Cristiano Zanetti Disqualified
These are the rulings of the Disciplinary Committee ahead of the next round of Serie A matches. There are no disqualifications or amendments for Fiorentina. Juventus, on the other hand, should be without Cristiano Zanetti. Below are the disqualifications.
My take -- Am I the only one who thought Pasquale was intending to maim on Saturday? Zanetti's getting off easy... Death row reprieve... We would have worked that guy.
Groningen: Only Mathijs Absent; Berg returns
All are available, minus the captain Mathijs who remains doubtful, for Groningen looking ahead to Thursday's UEFA Cup match. It's believed that the leading goal-scorer, Berg, will return and could be paired with Nevland, the Norwegian battering ram.
My take -- No excuses for us, either. Again, I would really like to see Vanden Borre make his Viola debut in the second half. I'm not hopeful, though.
Juventus: Iaquinta to recover for Firenze
Ranieri has given a day off to his squad which will recommence training Tuesday afternoon at Vinovo. Iaquinta should return to practice in the coming days and there is a high probability that the Juventus attacker will be available in time for the Fiorentina match.
Nothing can be done for the other injured Juventini...
My take -- Too bad about Buomsong... I kid, I kid... Anyway, even with all of the injuries this side is still a heck of a lot better than the Parma side Ranieri embarrassed us with last season. Of course, the Franchi is a far cry from the Tardini.
