Juventus coach Allegri: Khedira will start against Sevilla

Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri says Sami Khedira will start their Champions League tie with Sevilla.

The former Real Madrid midfielder is back after serious injury.

Allegri said, “Khedira hasn't played for a while, but he will play tomorrow and he is ready. He's a player of international level. I don't know how long he can play, but he will certainly feature.

“Tomorrow we'll play with Buffon, Bonucci, Barzagli, Chiellini, Cuadrado, Khedira, Pogba, Evra, Morata and Dybala. I'm keeping the last midfielder to myself. Khedira will certainly play, while we hope to have Marchisio with us on Sunday.

“Cuadrado cannot play every game for 95 minutes, otherwise he'll grind to a halt at the fourth in a row. It's the same for Lemina, who is a little fatigued."
