Juventus forwards Paulo Dybala and Mario Mandzukic are doubts for the Serie A clash against Napoli on Sunday.
.
Dybala suffered a thigh injury in Juve's final game before the international break – a 1-0 win at Sampdoria, despite still joined up with Argentina's squad.
.
He did not feature for Edgardo Bauza's Argentine team and was an unused substitute despite Lionel Messi's suspension for the 2-0 loss in Bolivia.
.
23-year-old only trained for part of Friday's session alongside his team-mates.
.
Croatia striker Mandzukic was forced to train separately, having missed his country's 3-0 friendly defeat in Estonia.
.
The match also saw Juve winger Marko Pjaca suffered a season-ending knee ligament injury due to knee inflammation.
.
"Mandzukic worked separately, Dybala partly with the team and partly not," Allegri explained at his pre-match news conference, where leaders Juve will aim to extend a 10-point advantage over Napoli in third.
.
"Dybala did a few workouts but is not in optimum condition. I'll have to evaluate and decide.
.
"If Dybala doesn't play, the others are ready to do well.
.
"Mandzukic has a problem with an inflamed knee, today [Saturday] I will consider
.
"I have not yet chosen [the line-up]; after training I will have much clearer ideas."
.
@OfficialAllegri : "My very best wishes to @marko_pjaca20 . He has been desperately unlucky with injuries." #FinoAllaFine
