Tevez back for Juve but Pirlo will have to wait - Allegri

carlos teves is fit to return for Juventus on Saturday, but Andrea Pirlo will have to wait until the Champions League quarter-final showdown with Monaco to make his long-awaited comeback. While Tevez is back after a thigh injury, Juve coach Massimiliano Allegri has confirmed that Pirlo will miss the Serie A trip to Parma with his troublesome calf strain.
But he has confirmed that the midfielder will be available for Tuesday’s first leg against the Ligue 1 outfit at Juventus Stadium.



"Tevez is fine, and while Pirlo will not be available on Saturday, he will be on Tuesday," Allegri told a press conference on Friday.
Parma are well adrift at the bottom of the league and are destined for relegation at the end of the campaign, while they have also been declared bankrupt after countless financial difficulties in recent times.
Yet Allegri insists that he will not be taking it easy at the Ennio Tardini, even with Juve holding a commanding 14-point lead in Serie A.
"On Saturday the best possible team will be out on the pitch, since so many players are already rested. It is a decisive game in the championship," he insisted.
"We must give Parma and [head coach Roberto] Donadoni great credit for their professionalism in Serie A this season. From next Saturday we will begin a run of matches against sides going well in the league. The boys know the importance of the Parma game.
"Taking home the three points on Saturday would mean us taking home another little piece of the Scudetto."
The clash at Parma kicks off at 18:00 CET, with attention then turning to Tuesday's home fixture against Monaco as Juve go in search of their first Champions League quarter-final win since 2003.
