“Khedira is fine, so as far as the injured players go Khedira will be back tomorrow, Mandzukic is fine, [Miralem] Pjanic will be available on Wednesday because I don’t want to risk him.
“[Claudio] Marchisio is working partly with the team and partly doing personalised work, for [Mattia] De Sciglio and [Benedikt] Howedes it’ll take a bit of time, and the same goes for [Marko] Pjaca.”
Report: Benatia to miss Udinese
By Football Italia staff
Juventus defender Medhi Benatia will reportedly miss Sunday’s match against Udinese with a bruised ankle.
Benatia was replaced midway through Juve’s 2-1 win against Sporting CP on Wednesday, and Tuttosport claims tests showed 'heavy’ bruising to his left ankle.
Although “it seems unlikely that he can recover” for the trip to Udine, the newspaper expects him to 'definitely’ return against SPAL next weekend.
The 30-year-old has made just three appearances in Serie A this season but completed 90 minutes in each of them
Sturaro & Benatia miss Juve training
By Football Italia staff
Juventus have confirmed that Stefano Sturaro and Medhi Benatia did not train with the squad on Friday.
A statement on Juve’s official website explained Benatia had “a knock to his left ankle” from Wednesday’s 2-1 win against Sporting CP, while Sturaro had “a problem in his left thigh.”
The defender’s absence should see Daniele Rugani enter the Bianconeri’s line-up for the match against Udinese on Sunday, while Sturaro had been filling in at right-back.
Benedikt Howedes is still out with an ankle injury, but Mattia De Sciglio is closing in on a return as he joined Marko Pjaca in training 'partially’.
