Hellas Verona coach Ivan Juric says they face Juventus in good shape.

Verona have started with seven points in four games but haven't won since Serie A Week 2 against Udinese.

“The team are fine, we arrive motivated," Juric said at a press conference.

“We get Barak back, who has recovered from COVID and tomorrow we will evaluate his condition."

On star signing Nikola Kalinic, he added: “He's working, trying hard and trying to get into shape. For attackers like him, who live off explosiveness, it takes some time," the coach added.

“Then, let's see if he can claim a place, which is not given away. My idea is to insert him gradually.

“Matches against Juventus are always special and fascinating. We are going to play our game; we are under construction and we need time to regroup."
