INJURY SCARE FOR JUVENTUS AHEAD CHAMPIONS LEAGUE FINAL

Juventus' preparations for the UEFA Champions League final suffered an unusual blow as manager,  Max Allegri sustained a muscle problem playing in a charity game.

The 49 year old took part in 'La Partita del Cuore' when he pulled up, but doctors said he will be fine to take his place in the dugout as the Old Lady face Real Madrid in Cardiff on Saturday evening.

The Italian made over 370 appearances during his playing career before turning his attention to coaching.

Allegri was joined by F1 stars Sebastian Vettel and Kimi Raikkonen for the match at the Juventus Stadium.

The Ferrari duo were joined by reserve driver Antonio Giovinazzi at the event which raised funds for the Piemontese Foundation, Cancer Research and the Telethon Foundation.
