Udinese are currently floundering in 14th place in Serie A after a difficult start to the season, which has seen Pasquale Marino's position as coach called into question.

However, Juventus president Jean-Claude Blanc does not want his team to underestimate the Zebrette when the two sides meet at the Stadio Olimpico on Sunday evening.

"They are a team with quality who have always done well against us and, although [Antonio] Di Natale won't be present, it will be a difficult game and must be approached with seriousness," he told the club's official website.

Di Natale, currently Serie A's top scorer, will be suspended for the clash. Juventus will be without David Trezeguet, who has picked up an injury, but Blanc did not want to comment on Ciro Ferrara's possible tactical approach.

"Will we see [Alessandro Del Piero] alongside Diego? They are both available to the coach, and Ciro will choose the best team for the upcoming matches," he concluded.
