Juventus coach Max Allegri says Gonzalo Higuain has his full confidence.

Higuain has again been left out by Argentina and failed to make an impact in a big game.

Allegri said, “He doesn't need a reaction, he just has to play the way he knows how. Not being called by Argentina has to be strong motivation for him to repeat last season's performances, as we all must do.

“Last year, Higuain had some very good performances against Barcelona and was decisive in the semi-final with Monaco.

“It's a new campaign, we started Serie A with three wins out of three, we lost in the Champions League to the group favourites and the side who are favourites along with Real Madrid to win the trophy, so nothing is compromised."
