Massimiliano Allegri says Arkadiusz Milik is the only player unavailable for tomorrow’s game against Fiorentina, but the Old Lady’s coach will decide on the lineup on Sunday.

Allegri previewed tomorrow’s game against Fiorentina at a pre-match press conference on Saturday and confirmed that Milik will be the only player unavailable.

“He is the only absentee, I think he’ll be fit in 15-20 days. He is working separately and we hope he will return as soon as possible,” Allegri said.

“We have the final training session tomorrow. There are viruses going around, so I’ll decide tomorrow. I can’t do it before. Everyone’s fit, and the win [against Lazio] gave us confidence. We need an adequate performance, especially in terms of temper. We won almost all duels the other day, which must not be underestimated.”

Chiesa missed a training session on Thursday due to a mild flu, but completed a full session with the team the following day, so he will be available against his former club tomorrow.

Aside from Milik, the suspended Paul Pogba and Nicolò Fagioli won’t be eligible for Juventus against Fiorentina.

Juventus beat Lazio in the first leg of the Coppa Italia semifinals on Tuesday, but the Bianconeri won just one game from the last nine in Serie A so the match against the Tuscans is a must-win for them.

Fourth-placed Bologna are just two points below Allegri’s team in the Serie A table, while Roma sit fifth, seven points behind the Old Lady.
