Giorgio Chiellini sat out of training today as he continues to recover from a calf problem. The defender is steadily increasing his workload in the gym and is expected to return to full training over the coming days.
Simone Pepe was not involved this afternoon either after he felt a twinge in the back of his left thigh during the team's final training session before yesterday's game. The player underwent scans this morning which ruled out a recurrence of his previous muscle injury but revealed an inflammation of the scar. He will start training again this week and be available for selection only after a sustained spell working alongside the rest of the group.
