“The squad is okay, although some are missing a few minutes,” the Coach said at a Press conference.
“Spinazzola played 58 minutes of a friendly. De Sciglio is fine, Douglas Costa too. Khedira? We hope to have him back for the game against United in Turin. Dybala? He can play, I have to assess the condition of our midfielders.
“After that, I’ll pick who plays in attack. The only one who will certainly rest is Chiellini. De Sciglio? If he plays… he’ll play on the left. Today we’ll apply the finishing touches.
“Ronaldo? He’s very calm and working well. The rest are personal issues, which I don’t want to discuss.
“He’s brought us great attention and a sense of responsibility, he scored goals and that’s what he does best.
“Kean? He’s empowering. He’s the team’s striker after Mandzukic. Douglas Costa? It’ll be easier to see him during the game. He still has no minutes in his legs.
“I’m happy with how he played. It’s always said that in Italy, there are no players, which is always disastrous.
“I think we should be positive: the Italians did well against Ukraine and Poland. Mancini’s new era is going well and we’re trying to see things positively.
“Recently we’ve been winning here 1-0. Now we have a lot to play for. There’s also the Milan derby: a win could allow us to extend our lead further.
“We have to regain our focus on the League. Genoa have changed Coach and games after international breaks are always dangerous.
“Piatek? He’s been a surprise package and a real poacher. Juric? His Genoa won’t be very different to the one they were before.
“They’re a team in all aspects. It’ll be a physical match. There are three points between us and Napoli, in addition to their defeat at the Stadium.
“Is the League boring? For us, no. We must win here.”
