  • Juventus defender Federico Gatti believes his side is not making the most of Randal Kolo Muani's attacking abilities as the Bianconeri prepares to face Fiorentina away from home.

Juve is seventh in Serie A after its victory over Napoli last weekend, which it followed up with a UEFA Europa League win over AZ in midweek.

Kolo Muani starred against the Eredivisie side, assisting Teun Koopmeiners's opener before linking up with Nick Woltemade to score the second.

Luciano Spalletti's side faces Fiorentina next, and Gatti hopes it can utilise Kolo Muani's skills to its advantage.

"He is a great player with athleticism and characteristics that I think we don’t always make the most of," Gatti said.

"Because I, as a defender, can tell you how hard it is to deal with him running at you."

Gatti also believes Juve must not dwell too long on its UEFA Europa League win, with attention quickly turning back to Serie A action.

"It is a very good victory, it's always hard away from home in Europe, but we need to set it aside straight away and get our Serie A standings back in shape, because we cannot be in our current position," Gatti added.

"I needed to be at 100 per cent fitness, because if you are not sharp, then an error is always behind the corner. The only way to get fully fit is by playing."

Fiorentina ended a five-game winless run in Serie A with a 4-2 victory over Sassuolo last time out, moving out of the bottom three.
