JAKARTA - Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri welcomed the return of Paul Pogba and Federico Chiesa from injury. However, Allegri did not want to take the risk by fielding the two in the match against Empoli.

Quoted from Football Italia, Friday, Chiesa suffered a severe knee injury in January. The ACL injury forced the 24-year-old to end the season sooner.

Meanwhile, Pogba, clashed with an injury to his knee earlier this season. The situation forced the French player to undergo surgery and took two months to recover.

The good news is that Chiesa and Pogba have returned to training with Juventus since the middle of this week. For Allegri, the presence of these two players is a good signal, but according to him it is too risky to play them too quickly.

"We have to be realistic. Chiesa has only practiced twice with the team, Pogba is partially involved, and he is doing something with the team, but not much. Crazy if you take risks," Allegri said as reported by Football Italia.

"You have to stop writing that (they will be played), you have no less imagination. Tomorrow they won't be able to play," Allegri said.

Although firm, he said he would not lower the two names in the match against Empoli, Saturday morning WIB but Allegri gave a little leak. He will try Chiesa's ability in a friendly match.

"Chiesa is making a move forward. On Saturday, we will have a friendly match to test it and see how it moves on the pitch," he explained.
