Juventus coach Antonio Conte says Alessandro del Piero will play tonight against AC Milan.

Del Piero's 18 appearances so far this term have mainly come from the bench, but the 37-year-old will get a chance in the semi-final of the Coppa Italia against Milan.

"Del Piero will play, he adds something to this team," Conte said on Monday with his side holding a 2-1 advantage from the first leg in Milan. "I expect a lot from him and Juve.

"It is a game which will allow us the possibility of winning a trophy. Tomorrow we'll play our most important game of the season, but I hope that there are even more important ones to come."
