Back holiday Monday at work

While the rest of Italy basked in the glorious sunshine of a bank holiday Monday, Juventus were hard at work on the Vinovo training pitches, ramping up their preparations for Saturday's Serie A big kick-off against Fiorentina.

Fitness and technical drills were on the agenda this morning, with tactics expected to feature prominently tomorrow as Massimiliano Allegri fine tunes his team for Wednesday's traditional pre-season encounter with the Primavera at Villar Perosa.

These final preparations will take place during a solitary morning workout at Juventus Center.
