AC Milan travel to Udinese on Sunday with media speculation surrounding under-pressure manager Massimiliano Allegri after reports of a training ground bust-up with Milan hero and youth team coach Filippo Inzaghi, touted as a possible replacement.
Allegri's side are yet to score a goal at the San Siro so far this season after drawing 0-0 with Anderlecht in the Champions League on Tuesday and rumours are rife that he could soon be sacked.
"Nothing happened, between me and Pippo there is no problem. There was only an exchange of opinions without any offence, unlike how it was written," Allegri told the club's TV channel.
"I hope to stay at Milan a long time, Filippo has all the characteristics of someone who can have a good career as a manager."
The first hearing of Juventus coach Antonio Conte's second appeal against his 10-month ban was heard by the National Court of Arbitration for Sport in Rome on Friday with the Gazzetta Dello Sport reporting that the second decisive hearing will take place on October 2.
Fabio Quagliarella may start up front for Juventus at home to Chievo on Saturday following the substitute's equaliser in the 2-2 Champions League draw at Chelsea. Stephan Lichtsteiner and Andrea Pirlo might also be rested ahead of a tricky run of Serie A fixtures, Sky Sport Italia reported.
"Obviously it bothers us not to win at home. It seems like simplistic analysis, but we were punished by two episodes," the Inter boss told Sky Sport Italia.
New signing Mattia Destro should be available however, despite a problem with his foot picked up during Roma's 3-2 loss to Bologna last week.
