The defender is about to finish his return to the club and Mbadimiliano Allegri plans to use it for the Coppa Italia on Wednesday.
Mbadimiliano Allegri hopes that Martin Caceres will join Juventus in time to take part in the Wednesday clash between Coppa Italia and Atalanta.
Caceres, who played for the Bianconeri in two previous episodes, arrived in Turin on Saturday to undergo a medical checkup before a loan transfer announced to Lazio.
Allegri confirmed this weekend that Caceres would be considered a substitute for Medhi Benatia, who has since completed his move to Al-Duhail, and that the Uruguayan international could be involved right away.

The Juve coach said Tuesday that Giorgio Chiellini, Daniele Rugani and Joao Cancelo would all start facing Atalanta. The role of the left-back remains to be determined. Andrea Barzagli and Leonardo Bonucci are both absent.
Caceres is not ready to qualify for the XI, but Allegri said about the versatile defender: "Benatia is officially gone, Caceres is completing his transfer and, hopefully, he could be available."
@OfficialAllegri: "Let's start with the wounds: @Miralem_Pjanic and @SamiKhedira are both available, maybe even @ MarioMandzukic9. @Cuadrado, @ andreabarzagli2 and @ bonucci_leo19 are all absent, even though Leo's injury is less serious than expected. "#AtalantaJuve #CoppaItalia

With an badured reinforcement, Allegri will focus solely on the trip to Bergamo. Despite an imminent clash between the Champions League and Atletico Madrid, he insists that Juve can not be distracted.
"I always hear about Atletico," Allegri told the press. "It's a football game, it's not confirmed that Juventus is the big favorite.
"We are talking as if Juve were just waiting to win the Champions League on June 1. It's a crazy thing and it's not a good way to think about the Champions League, it's our goal to win it. if we are good and we are lucky, we can progress.

"Playing against Atletico is not like playing against another team, it's a game where there can be unexpected events that become normal.
"In the league, it's different because there are 38 games and you can miss one. [In the Coppa or Champions League,] there is no possibility of answering. You have to play a good game and get lucky, there is nothing else.
"The Champions League is coming, but we do not need to think about it every day."
