Juventus coach Antonio Conte admits Milos Krasic and Giorgio Chiellini are struggling for form.
But he insists he's not ready to jettison the pair.
"Krasic is having difficulties right now, but we are working on him, psychologically too," said Conte.
"As for Chiellini, I can't doubt him as a player. I'll always support him and Krasic and I hope the fans do too.
"We are building something here and the fans need to love our squad. They are two fundamental players for us."
