Sassuolo - Juventus Preview: Dybala ready to go again

Paulo Dybala is "raring to go" ahead of Juventus ' Serie A trip to Sassuolo on Wednesday.

Juve coach Massimiliano Allegri has been criticised for not making adequate use of Dybala since his arrival from Palermo in the summer transfer window.

But the 21-year-old striker - who made his Argentina debut against Paraguay earlier this month - made a scoring return to the starting line-up in the 2-0 victory over Atalanta.

The result helped Juve continue their climb up the table after a dreadful start to the season but Dybala insists he appreciates Allegri's efforts to keep the pressure off him.

"I'm going through this period very calmly," he told Premium Sport . "I always think about working in peace and doing my best.

"I definitely feel the change, but like Allegri said, when there's too much pressure you make mistakes and it can weigh on you.

"You just have to play calmly, staying close to your friends and team-mates. I'm definitely raring to go. I like being on the pitch but the coach has to choose his XI."

After an impressive start to the season, Sassuolo's results have become inconsistent and they were beaten 2-1 at AC Milan on Sunday.

Eusebio Di Francesco's side are unbeaten in seven home league matches since a 3-0 loss to Roma in April, however, and sit sixth in the table.

Domenico Berardi followed up his first goal of the campaign with another in the defeat at San Siro and will face his former co-owners, who retain the option to re-sign him next summer.

Due to Dybala's form and the return of Mario Mandzukic, Berardi is unlikely to go head-to-head with his former strike partner Simone Zaza, who was similarly bought by Sassuolo but then brought back a year later by Juve.

Allegri will be without Roberto Pereyra and Kwadwo Asamoah, who both suffered thigh injuries against Atalanta. Stephan Lichtsteiner (heart) and Martin Caceres (ankle) are also out.
