Juventus coach Allegri: Chiesa friendly planned; let's not commit madness with Pogba

Juventus coach Max Allegri says a friendly will be held for Fede Chiesa on Saturday.

The attacker is in training after recovering from last season's knee injury.

Allegri, ahead of tomorrow's clash with Empoli, said: "I too would like to have all the squad available, but to give changes to who always plays.

"As for Chiesa and (Paul) Pogba: Chiesa has made progress, Saturday morning a friendly will be organised for him to see the estate and how he moves on the pitch.

"Paul did a few things with the team, let's not forget that he hasn't had a serious training session since 23 July. You need to give him time, to hurry up to get him back in a game earlier and jeopardising all the work would be pure madness."
