JUVE NO CHANCE

- By STEVE BATES

JUVENTUS coach Massimilia­no Allegri insists he will be taking no chances with Argentine ace Paulo Dybala against Tottenham in the Champions League.

Dybala has been missing for a month with a thigh strain, but has given the Italian champions a boost by returning to training ahead of Spurs’ visit to Turin on Tuesday night. But Allegri is worried that he could pay a heavy price if he brings the striker (below) back too early.

He said: “Dybala is available. He is working hard in training but it will be very difficult to have him fully fit this week.

“He is a very important player for us, but if he is not at his best then I do not want to rush his return. I don’t want to take any risks.” Allegri, who saw his team beat Fiorentina 2-0 on Friday night, added: “Tottenham are a team with great technique. “We will have to be very careful against them. It will be another big test for us.”
