(Reuters) - Juventus' midweek win over Zenit St Petersburg in the Champions League has restored confidence following two successive Serie A defeats but the team must not relax in Saturday's league clash with Fiorentina, manager Massimiliano Allegri said on Friday.
A double from Paulo Dybala sealed a comfortable win for Juve that confirmed their place in the knockout stage, offering much-needed respite for Allegri whose side have won two of the last five league games, trailing leaders Napoli by 16 points.
He added that all Juve's league games were of huge importance until the players found a"mental continuity". Striker Moise Kean and full back Mattia De Sciglio miss out through injury and Allegri said he would take a call on whether to rest veteran centre back Leonardo Bonucci closer to the game.
