Juventus will not speak to the media before Saturday’s grudge match against Inter, as a Press conference was cancelled.

Assistant manager Angelo Alessio was meant to sit down with the media at the Vinovo training ground on Friday.

However, the club confirmed it had cancelled the planned Press conference and no staff members will be speaking to journalists.

No reason has been given, but it is believed Juventus do not wish to further stoke the fires of controversy around the Derby d’Italia.

Alessio also called off a Press conference on Tuesday when preparing for Wednesday’s 2-1 win over Bologna.
