Juventus boss Massimiliano Allegri provides early updates on Paulo Dybala, Daniele Rugani and Luca Pellegrini who picked up injuries in the derby della Mole against Torino.
Rugani didn’t even start the game and was withdrawn from the starting line-up after suffering an injury during the warm up. His replacement Luca Pellegrini remained on the pitch for just 45 minutes and was subbed off during the break, while Paulo Dybala was forced off the pitch in the second half.
“Dybala shouldn’t have anything in particular,” Allegri explained in his post-match interview with DAZN.

However, the coach went into further details during a press conference attended by Football Italia.
“Rugani had a problem at his flexor, same as Dybala, while Pellegri picked up a knock. We have the players to play against Villareal, Danilo will return for the match in Spain.”
Allegri went on to say that it is “still too early” to know if Dybala will recover for the game against Villareal on Tuesday.
Giorgio Chiellini and Leonardo Bonucci are also dealing with a calf injury and missed the game against Torino.
“Bonucci will be assessed, like all the other players,” Allegri continued at his post-match press conference.
“The season is still long. I don’t want to take risks and use players just for 30 minutes, fearing to lose them for a month.”
