Allegri bemoans gossip as Evra rumours swirl

Juventus head coach Massimiliano Allegri refused to be drawn on the future of Patrice Evra amid speculation the veteran defender is set to leave Turin.

The 35-year-old has fallen behind Alex Sandro in the pecking order at Juventus Stadium this term and has been linked with a return to former club Manchester United, although Gazzetta dello Sport claimed this would most likely be in a coaching capacity.

The Serie A leaders face Bologna when their pursuit of a sixth consecutive domestic crown resumes and Allegri told a pre-match news conference Evra or Kwadwo Asamoah would take on the left wing-back role.
