Federico comes from a time when he played less, he has to find his condition again but for us è important".
"We are talking about a footballer who is most comfortable on the flank but he remains a bit too far away from the action,” Allegri added. “In soccer, however, you have to move and get out of the way. Not that he has done badly, but he needs to find his form again and he knows that himself. He can, however, remain calm, it will be important between now and the end of the season".
Juve also grappling with the knockouts of McKennie and Rabiot
Regarding injuries, Allegri then commented: "McKennie has a dislocated shoulder, Rabiot on the other hand I think he has a'infraction to the big toe. We will see with the medical staff how both will be. Today, in any case, the most important thing was to win and start preparing as well as possible for the game in Naples".
