Juventus sporting director Federico Cherubini has played down the need to buy this month.

Cherubini is convinced there's enough potential within the squad without the need to add from outside.

He said, “I think this squad will improve if we recover the players we had technically since July but have barely been able to use. It was described as a 'virtual' squad, but these are real players and we hope to have them back soon.

“On top of that, we will also see the growth progress of young players who were just potential at first but now are starting to really show what they can do.

“There are five youth team players in the side today and that is something we can be proud of. These young players must also have the strength to show they are able to repay us for that faith."
