The Italian champions take on their Swiss counterparts at the Allianz Stadium tomorrow, and the Coach gave an update on his team in the pre-match Press conference.
“Khedira won’t play from the start, but he’ll be part of the squad,” Allegri confirmed.

The Italian champions take on their Swiss counterparts at the Allianz Stadium tomorrow, and the Coach gave an update on his team in the pre-match Press conference.
“Khedira won’t play from the start, but he’ll be part of the squad,” Allegri confirmed.
“The plan was to take him to Udine, so if he could play half an hour tomorrow that would be positive. There are still two games before the end of this mini-cycle and I’d like to have everyone available.
“Chiellini won’t play, [Joao] Cancelo needs to recover and Barzagli [alongside Allegri in the conference] will play because the old man is always good.
“I have some doubts in midfield, whether we’ll play with two midfielders, two deeper, or three in the middle.
“Up-front I always have two, [Mario] Mandzukic and Dybala. [Moise] Kean is also fine, as is [Federico] Bernardeschi.
“He [Bernardeschi] could play on the wing, as a mezzala, or as a trequartista. It’s also possible he won’t play.
"Cristiano Ronaldo's suspension? He needed to catch his breath, so it's all good."
It was announced over the weekend that general manager Giuseppe Marotta will leave Juve, and the Coach discussed that.
“It’s still fresh, when a human and professional relationship ends it’s normal to feel sorry. There’s a moment of adjustment, but there’s a match to be won tomorrow because we can’t throw away what we did in Spain.”
