Chiellini: suffered muscle fatigue in the warmup against Empoli. He will be evaluated with the appropriate examinations in the coming days. Nothing serious is feared and he could be back for Cagliari.

Khedira: absent from before the international break for a left thigh problem, is expected to return in the next matches, more likely against United.

Mandzukic: The ankle problem from before the first match against the Red Devils gave him trouble, but this week he should be available to Allegri.
