Countdown to Udinese in full swing

Following two days of intensive fitness work at Vinovo, the ball made a welcome appearance today as the Bianconeri continued their preparations for Sunday afternoon’s Serie A clash with Udinese at the Stadio Friuli.

After warming up, Massimiliano Allegri led his men through a series of passing drills, possession exercises and shooting scenarios. Missing out on this morning's session was Alvaro Morata, who has come down with flu-like symptoms.

Tactical work is expected to come to the fore when Juventus conduct their penultimate session for Udinese, which is scheduled for tomorrow morning.
