Next up, Udinese

Bright blue skies welcomed Juventus onto the training fields in Vinovo this afternoon with preparations beginning in earnest for Sunday's Serie A trip to Udinese.

Split into groups, Massimiliano Allegri's men were put to work in an intense session with a series of possession and passing drills.

Playing no part in today's workout was Stefano Sturaro after reporting a muscle strain in his right side. The midfielder's condition will be monitored in further examinations next week.
