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.

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.
