Juventus coach Maurizio Sarri admits he's having to patch up his team ahead of tonight's clash with Lazio.

Skipper Giorgio Chiellini has been ruled out due to injury.

Sarri said, “Rodrigo Bentancur, Matthijs de Ligt and Leonardo Bonucci all trained separately, so we'll see how they react today. Chiellini has to stay out for a few days. In any case, we have valid alternatives.

“At this moment, we have to focus on being solid and consistent. It's not important who plays upfront, but the work they are able to do for the team.

“It's an issue of duties and who can do them well. We could use Douglas Costa or Juan Cuadrado, we'll see who we choose. It's about ensuring their duties are done, so the defence is not left so exposed."
