Juventus coach Max Allegri says Paul Pogba is in his squad for their Europa League clash with Sporting CP.

Pogba has managed just 35 minutes of football so far this season due to a preseason knee injury and then later complications in his recovery.

Ahead of the quarterfinal first-leg on Thursday night, Allegri said: "Paul is called up, we'll see tomorrow if and how much he plays.

"The important thing is that he has done some training with the team without stopping. Having him in the best conditions at the end of the season would be important, let's not forget that there are two months left.

"We have 9 league games, we hope to play 7 between the Europa League and the Italian Cup. The season is still good, we hope to play 16 games."
