Allegri Juventus updates on Chiesa, Milik and McKennie

Max Allegri gives fitness and form updates on Arkadiusz Milik, Federico Chiesa and Weston McKennie ahead of the clash with Atalanta.

It kicks off at the Allianz Juventus Stadium in Turin at 17.00 GMT.

Both teams are in poor form at the moment, as the Bianconeri have just one victory in the last six rounds, while La Dea are without a win in almost a month and were in action on Wednesday in the 1-1 Europa League draw away to Sporting CP.

“We know it is a very complicated match, Atalanta are tough to play against and as usual will be fired up,” Allegri told DAZN.

Milik has not scored in Serie A for five months, but he leads the way this evening because Dusan Vlahovic is suspended and Moise Kean still nowhere near fit.

“He is feeling better, I saw him more relaxed during the week and he will certainly have a great performance this evening.”

Chiesa found the net last week in the defeat to Napoli and seems to be at last finding some form of fitness after months of injury issues.

“Chiesa is improving physically and that is why the performances are better than a few months ago,” added Allegri.

Adrien Rabiot is still out of action, but USMNT midfielder McKennie returns, despite barely managing to train due to a dislocated shoulder.

“He trained, did what he could and is at our disposal. However, it’s not an emergency situation, as Miretti did well against Napoli, we have Nicolussi Caviglia and Nonge on the bench, so if we need other solutions, we’ll find them.”
