    With Juventus welcoming Milan on Saturday for a key Matchday 13 Serie A clash, Bianconeri coach Massimiliano Allegri spoke to the media in Friday's press conference.

    Let's take a look at his key quotes, shall we?

    On Buffon and other injury risks - "We'll evaluate Buffon today, it doesn't look serious but we have to confirm this before we can give him the green light".

    "Lichtsteiner and Mandzukic have trained with the team and are available.

    "Caceres arrived this morning, we'll need to see if he's in good shape. Asamoah isn't available, as he travelled to Barcelona yesterday to check up on his knee inflammation. He'll need 7-10 more days.

    "Padoin will be back next week, Pereyra is making good time.

    "Then again, whatever happens, people say that Allegri's teams train badly and have a lot of injuries...".

    ON SECURITY AND THE PARIS BOMBINGS - "It's a delicate moment for the world, but we'll play in totally safe conditions. Tomorrow must be a good evening for sport and a good game of football, I've given a lot of thought to the three players who were present in Paris during the attacks. Pogba, Evra and Khedira has been through a tough period, but I've spoken to them and they're calm.

    "Let's look at the positive side of things, [Italian PM] Renzi will be there tomorrow!"

    ON DYBALA -
    "Dybala is in great shape and trained with the squad. He could be there from the start. Should he play more? There were times I could have only used him in a kickabout with my friends, yet he always plays!"

    ON JUVE'S OBJECTIVES - "Our first order of the day is to overtake Milan in the table, then qualify for the Champions League knockout stages. A win would give us a boost before we face Manchester City."

    "Our objective is to win the Scudetto, but right now we need to gain points on our rivals because we're still behind".
