Mandzukic to be fit to face Sampdoria on Sunday, while
Andrea Barzagli will miss the trip to the Stadio Luigi Ferraris
due to a muscle injury.
The Croatia international missed the 3-0 win over Verona
due to a calf problem, but is back in contention for the
weekend's meeting.
"Mandzukic has a good chance of making the squad," Allegri
said at a news conference.
"But I still need to decide who to play up front.
Alvaro Morata did well last week and will be back scoring
soon.
"Andrea Barzagli won't be back in time, while Mario Lemina
is in Barcelona for another medical examination. In 10 days
he might be able to return to training.
"I hope to have Roberto Pereyra back as soon as possible.
He's a player who can change games.
"I'm very happy to have Martin Caceres back. He deserved
to play on Wednesday and his return equates to a top
signing for us."
Juventus will be looking to make it nine Serie A wins in a
row against Samp, but Allegri has warned Samp will not be
pushovers.
"Sampdoria played very well in the derby last week. We
know that they will be in high spirits," he added.
"Sampdoria have plenty of quality, especially going forwards
with the likes of Eder, Luis Muriel, Antonio Cassano and
Roberto Soriano.
"Vincenzo Montella is a young coach who has already done
very well in his career. He clearly has a bright future."
