The Old Lady will be up against Fiorentina tomorrow at 20:45 (local time) to dispute the semi-finals of the Coppa Italia.
Allegri, in his pre-game conference, stressed the cardinal importance of being in the right form.
“What matters is that everybody is in a good condition,” he said.
“There are some Juventus players who have covered more than 30 games.
“This year we have players who had much more playing time than last season, while others had a little less.
“But we have many games now and we need everyone at their best.
“Against Fiorentina I may field the ones who played the most so far and maybe give them a rest on Monday against Sassuolo.
“The Coppa Italia is an important objective for Juventus. It's been 20 years since we last won it, so it's our duty to make a run for it.
“Therefore I'll be looking to field the ideal side for tomorrow's game.”
In spite of this, the former Milan tactician still hasn't chosen the exact components to make up his starting XI.
“I still haven't decided the starters who will take to the pitch tomorrow.
“[Andrea] Barzagli is definitely feeling better, I'll make my mind up about him today.
“Of course he hasn't played in eight months other than some friendlies, so I'll have to evaluate his situation. But we'll decide together.
“Tomorrow is a Coppa semi-final, so we need the best possible formation.
“The result will be decided over 180 minutes against Fiorentina, one of the most in-form teams of the championship.
“They play good football and they have a good physical and mental condition. [Coach Vincenzo] Montella's teams aren't just technically skilled, they also play very well.”
