Juventus striker Amauri is determined to overcome his right thigh problem soon in order to take part in the Old Lady's stern encounter with Inter Milan.

The Brazilian-born player has been sidelined since last month with an injury that obliges him to rest for several more days.

The Derby d'Italia takes place in about a fortnight, and Amauri should have enough time to reach full recovery before the anticipated match.

"It's a shame that I won't make the Chievo game, but I will be ready for Inter," Amauri told Italian newspaper Il Tempo.

"If everything goes according to plan then I will resume full training next week with my teammates. I am aiming to be fit for Inter.

"This is an awkward injury that I am dealing with and so it is important that I make sure I recover fully.

"I want to give my contribution to the team so we can finish the League season as we started it."

Juventus now lie second in the Serie A table with 62 points, seven points behind leaders Inter.
