Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri has yet to decide on whether to risk Fernando Llorente in their Champions League game with Olympiakos on Wednesday.

The 47-year-old takes the Bianconeri to Greece, pondering if Llorente’s back problem will prevent him from joining Carlos Tevez in attack.

According to Sky Sport Italia, the selection will be made as late as possible with Alvaro Morata the alternative option.

Also on the Juventus coach’s mind will be how to deploy Claudio Marchisio and Andrea Pirlo, with the latter picked for Saturday’s draw at Sassuolo.

Paul Pogba and Arturo Vidal are both expected to start and take up more advanced central midfield roles.

Juventus go into the clash with Olympiakos top of Group A on goal difference, with each side having a win and a loss from their opening two games.
