📣 Allegri on team news and Juve's form ahead of semi-final | OneFootball

Massimiliano Allegri has been facing the media as Juventus prepare to take on Inter in the Coppa Italia on Tuesday.

Here is what he has had to say …

On team news

“Chiesa is available. He only had a knee check when he went to Austria, he’s fine. He just has tendon inflammation but he’s there tomorrow and he’ll start from the bench.

“Alex Sandro is not 100% but he will be available. Rugani is fine and Bonucci is recovering. Pogba did a good workout and will be with the team from Wednesday.”

On the big occasion

“It’s a semi-final. We play against Inter, obviously it’s not easy. We have to be much more careful. We all hope to play a great match tomorrow.”

On Juve’s form

“Right now the main danger comes from us. We must stay calm, calm, rest and be ready tomorrow.”

On how to use Samuel Iling-Junior

“Iling-Junior can be considered a deputy to Kostić. De Sciglio can also play in that position, but due to his characteristics I would also like to try Iling from centre midfield.”

On Manuel Locatelli

“Locatelli has grown a lot and can still grow. He’s much faster in game distribution. Manuel always puts his heart and character into this team, they are characteristics that allow you to play at Juve.”
