Juventus coach Max Allegri is confdent Giorgio Chiellini's injury isn't serious.

Chiellini was named in the starting XI for victory over Empoli, but pulled out in the warm-up with an injury.

“Chiellini felt a twinge and wasn't sure, so it was best not to risk it. Daniele Rugani played very well. Miralem Pjanic wasn't as sharp as usual and I moved Rodrigo Bentancur to block off the Empoli counter-attacks.

“I told the lads, this was a game we had to win, it didn't matter how well or badly we played. The goal was a moment of magic from an extraordinary player and it's something kids will try to copy in the schoolyard. It's much easier to get kids passionate about that rather than explaining tactics to them.

“I continue to maintain there is too much theory in Italian football schools and it pains me to see kids go to training and not even enjoy themselves. We've got to focus on the simple things in life first."
