ALESSANDRO Del Piero is no guarantee to fly to Wellington on Saturday with his Sydney FC teammates, as he continues to manage issues with his back and hamstring.

Though Del Piero Wednesday downplayed concerns over the tightness in his lower back that ended his involvement in last weekend's win over Melbourne Heart at halftime, there are concerns that travelling to New Zealand could be counterproductive given the run of four games in 21 days - including the Boxing Day showdown with leaders Brisbane Roar.

"It's nothing serious, we're training this week and then we'll see what is the best thing for Sunday," Del Piero said of his back issue. "We don't want to think too much about too far beyond Sunday's game.

"We have to analyse what's best for me and other players, a lot of us play a lot of games - this is a problem for Frank [Farina], not me."

Del Piero warned against resting on the laurels of five wins in six matches, and said any consideration of his future beyond this season would have to wait.

"We're in a good moment but we don't forget our target," he said. "It doesn't end here, it's day by day we have to improve and think about the next game. For us that's Wellington away, and for sure it will be tough.

"At the moment I'm focused on our season. This is what I wanted to change from last season, the results on the field for the team. I don't want to think anything beyond this for the moment."

Del Piero also wants to be fit for the second derby of the season having missed Western Sydney's 2-0 win at Allianz Stadium in Round 3 through a previous injury.

"It was an amazing atmosphere - I was outside the stadium before the match and at the top of the stands for the second half and it was wonderful," he said.

"We had a great game - unfortunately they beat us but we have two opportunities to take revenge. But the crowd, the atmosphere, everything was perfect."
