Massimiliano Allegri has a few doubts 48 hours ahead of the Coppa Italia final against Inter, namely to do with the midfield and defence.
La Gazzetta dello Sport details how the Italian coach received some good news today as Luca Pellegrini showed incredibly positive signs at the training session, meaning he could be fit enough to start over Alex Sandro in the final. He’s still not made a final decision yet but this is only one of his many doubts.
Another uncertainty is the Juventus midfield; the recovery of Manuel Locatelli means Allegri will now have to decide whether to deploy a two or three-man midfield, and whether the former Sassuolo man will find space or not. For now it seems likely that Denis Zakaria and Adrien Rabiot will start in a two-man midfield.
The final doubt surrounds Juventus’ centre backs. The Bianconeri coach is considering starting Matthijs de Ligt and Giorgio Chiellini in defence, but then he’d be forced to leave out Leonardo Bonucci. Again, no final decision has been made yet, leaving Allegri some things to ponder as the final approaches.
