Dybala edging closer to Juventus return

Massimiliano Allegri expects Paulo Dybala to resume squad training next week as he steps up his recovery from a thigh injury.
    
The Argentina international has not featured for the Serie A champions since their 1-0 defeat to AC Milan on October 22.

However, Dybala appears on the verge of a comeback with Juve head coach Allegri delivering a positive update on the forward's injury status.

"You can expect to see Dybala training with us again next week," he told a news conference ahead of Juve's Serie A contest at Genoa on Sunday.

Dybala's strike partner Gonzalo Higuain was also absent for Juve's Champions League win over Sevilla in midweek due to a hamstring problem.

"Gonzalo is fit and available," Allegri added.

"He will almost certainly partner Mandzukic up front. 

"Mario himself is in a great place at the moment both mentally and physically."
