The Bianconeri travel to the Stadio Olimpico to face a struggling Biancocelesti on Friday evening, after four straight wins in all competitions.
There have been reports that the Coach’s relationship with Morata has declined recently, but Allegri denied there is any tension.
“Morata is an extraordinary player who is regaining a good physical and mental condition,” he said at today’s Press conference.
“There’s no problem with him. Against City I assured him, I didn’t yell at him.
“He must give a lot to Juventus and I demand a lot from him as I do from Zaza, who did well when he came on against Palermo.
"Would I swap Dybala for Higuain? I wouldn’t swap any of my players. Higuain is having his best year since he’s been here in Italy.
“Dybala is moving too quickly, in terms of the game and of the man. He’s an important figure for the team and the club given the investment made.
“It’s difficult to see a classic 4-4-2 tomorrow. I must evaluate who can play in midfield in Pogba’s place.
“I haven’t decided yet who will play up front, if it’ll be Mandzukic, Morata or Zaza.
“Four straight wins? Against Empoli we had one of our worst games on the tactical level even if we won. Against City it was fantastic from every point of view, at Palermo we played a match of personality.
“The guys are better physically, it’s enough to see how they’re running. Tomorrow we will face a Lazio team that wants to win to get out of an ugly period and it’ll be very difficult.”
