Juventus manager Max Allegri spoke at the prematch press conference for their Coppa Italia Round of 16 game against Genoa: "This competition represents one of our objectives: the Coppa Italia is equivalent to the league. If we take Genoa lightly and get knocked out, the game on Saturday will be compromised. De Sciglio had a flexor problem and won't be be available for tomorrow. It will be difficult for him to be ready for Roma. It is the same story for Mandzukic, who got 13 stitches in his calf. We are evaluating Cuadrado on a daily basis, but he will be available for Roma. Buffon no, ashe won't be training this week. Chiellini could start tomorrow, but I have to decide between him and Barzagli. Lichtstenier will probably start. Pjaca is training and he could play as a winger or as a striker because he is fast and very technical. Dybala will start from the first minute along with Rugani and Bernardeschi. Even Marchisio will get a chance. The transfer market? It is already too much trying to decide to who start and who stays on the bench. Besides that, the club will be vigilant, as they haven't one wrong since I arrived and they will continue like that."
