The Serbian wideman has been reassured that he is in contention for a place in the Turin side's starting XI


Juventus coach Antonio Conte has reassured wideman Milos Krasic that he remains part of his first-team plans.

The Serbia intertantional has started in just one of the Turin side's three Serie A matches so far this season, but the 42-year-old tactician insists that he has as a part to play at the Juventus Stadium this season.

"There is no question, whoever is on the field should try to do their best," Conte told Tuttosport, deflecting attention from speculation about the former CSKA Moscow winger's future.

"Today, I am pleased with the performance of Krasic. He is a player under consideration. I have a list of players and, according to circumstances, I choose the different formations."

Krasic has been the focus of transfer speculation throughout the summer, having lost his place in the Juventus starting XI following a difficult second half to the 2010/11 season.

Manchester United, Chelsea and Russian side Anzhi Makhachkala have all been heavily linked with a move for the 26-year-old.
