“It has been a bit of a turbulent week between transfer issues and a few too many injury problems,” confessed the Coach in a Press conference.

Riccardo Meggiorini, Alessandro Gamberini, Mariano Izco, Perparim Hetemaj and ex-Juventus man Simone Pepe are unavailable again, while Bostjan Cesar is suspended.

Paloschi completed his transfer to Swansea City last night for a reported €10.5m (£8m).

“His sale should not trouble us, as the transfer window is part of the sport. Alberto had this opportunity and we all wish him the best, but our journey must continue.

“We need to bring out the best of ourselves to face an opponent like Juventus. Over the last few weeks they have steamrollered everyone in their path.

“This form has to give us further motivation, because from 200 per cent performances you can get unthinkable results. We believe that we can get points because we want to have a go.

“My lads proved throughout the season they are up for the test and won’t hold back or be remissive when faced with a challenge.

“Physicality will be essential, as Juve are strong in those terms as well as in their technique.”

Chievo squad for Juventus: Bizzarri, Bressan, Seculin; Cacciatore, Frey, Gobbi, Sardo, Dainelli, Spolli, Costa; Birsa, Pinzi, Rigoni, Castro, Radovanovic, Damian, Depaoli; Pellissier, Mpoku, Inglese
