Lilian Thuram has urged Juventus fans not to panic.

Juve's title defence has stumbled in the opening weeks of the season.

“They've lost several very important players, and you have to give them time to start again with new players," ex-Juve defender Thuram.

“The Juve fans shouldn't be afraid, because there are still a lot of great players, they've already won so much and they won well at Manchester City in the Champions League.

“That means the team is still at the top level."
