On Wednesday, Tottenham and Juventus will lock horns in a highly-anticipated Champions League clash. These sides played a thrilling 2-2 draw in the first leg of their round of 16 clash at Turin, which means there is a lot left to play at Wembley.
However, the away side has a number of worries. One is the disadvantageous scoreline, as conceding two goals at home was not the plan for Allegri’s men.
Then there is the issue of Dybala and Dybala. The two have struggled with injuries this season, with the latter just recovering from an ankle injury in time to make the squad for the London trip.
Doubts over their fitness linger, but Allegri is ready to risk starting the two nonetheless. With the likes of Mario Mandzukic, Federico Bernardeschi, and Juan Cuadrado all unavailable; Dybala and Higuain – alongside Douglas Costa – are the Italian’s only options in attack.

The fact that Allegri is risking a lot in this game shows how important the Wembley match is. The Bianconeri faces stiff competition in the Serie A race, meaning their Scudetto push would gravely suffer if any of the two Argentines pick up a new injury.
Regardless, the Old Lady boss does not want to see his team crash out of the competition this early. In order to avoid this, Juventus must turn up at Wembley and pick up their first victory in the English capital.
