Max Allegri confirms Claudio Marchisio is fit to return against Udinese, but warns that they must 'be careful' with his reintroduction.

Speaking in his pre-match press conference before Juventus take on Udinese on Saturday night, he also stresssed that this is a 'must win' game as Napoli will play Roma earlier on that same day.

"Tomorrow we must beat Udinese to take points from Roma, Napoli, or both. Marko Pjaca, Daniele Rugani and Kwadwo Asamoah will all miss out.

"Tomorrow we must beat Udinese to take points from Roma, Napoli, or both. Marko Pjaca, Daniele Rugani and Kwadwo Asamoah will all miss out.

"Marchisio had a good 45 minutes with the reserves, but we must look out for unforeseen dangers with muscle problems. The ideal scenario would be to give him a bit of time during the forthcoming matches, as all the others are available."

"Marchisio is an important available player, one of the most important players for the years to come, but I will always exercise caution when a player returns from a cruciate injury. You have to be cautious and careful, his knee has healed but after six months of inactivity, other issues can occur."

The Juve Coach also spoke about his band of South American players who have all endured long journeys on their return from the international break. 

"I do not know who came late, some arrived yesterday after eighteen hour flights some trained indoors instead of at Vinovo. The international break went well, some players won, others did not."
