Allegri said at a press conference: “I’m looking forward to the matches, these matches give you adrenaline, in addition to the Champions League that will start soon.”

He added: “I don’t like to train all week, but when you play, the most fun part of football is on Saturday or Sunday because we play those.”

Of Rabiot, who has been linked with leaving Juventus, he commented: “Rabiot will play tomorrow. He had a great season. He was expelled last week so he didn’t play. they were excluded from the meeting with Sassuolo.”

He continued: “Kostic can start, he adapts well, he has good qualities and passes crosses very well, he reminds me of Douglas Costa.”
