Juventus coach Antonio Conte has revealed that Andrea Pirlo is struggling to be fit for this evening's clash with Fiorentina.

The 33-year-old picked up an injury during Italy's 1-1 draw with the Netherlands in midweek and looks unlikely to feature against the Viola.

There are further worries regarding Mauricio Isla and Stephan Lichtsteiner, but there is good news regarding Claudio Marchisio and Sebastian Giovinco.

"Pirlo didn't train yesterday and I'll have to speak to him," said Conte.

"Meanwhile, Isla returned with a cold and Lichtsteiner came off for Switzerland. We'll evaluate all of these situations tomorrow.

"Giovinco is causing me no worries and Marchisio is training with us – they are both at 100%."

The Bianconeri are three points clear at the top of Serie A.
