Juventus coach Max Allegri is confident Wojciech Szczesny's neck injury isn't serious.

The Poland goalkeeper was forced off during the friendly against Standard Liege.

Sportitalia's Alfredo Pedulla reports Szczesny came off at half time complaining of a neck problem. He was replaced by Mattia Perin, who could be forced to fill in for the Pole in the Bianconeri's first game of 2023 against Cremonese on January 4.

Allegri later said, “His neck got blocked before the goal, it shouldn't be a big problem but if he doesn't make it Perin is ready."
