Defenders Giorgio Chiellini and Roberto Pereyra on Thursday practiced with the Juventus outfit for a part of their training session.

Chiellini has not even featured for 90 minutes in Serie A since January and he has been plagued with muscular injuries. Pereyra also has had to battle to stay fit.

"Giorgio Chiellini and Roberto Pereyra participated in part of the session with the group," a statement read on the Juventus website.

"Players who played yesterday against Lazio were limited to recovery work, while the rest of the team had basic athletic and technical exercises."

Juventus are in search of a fifth consecutive Serie A title which is almost secured with four games left to play but Chiellini who is now 31 is looking to stay fit for the Coppa Italia final and the Euro 2016 where he is set to don the Italian jersey.
