Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri says his decision to bench Paulo Dybala is not significant, with the striker needing rest after a busy 2017.
Dybala started the Serie A season in great form, but the Argentina international has only hit the back of the net twice in the league since September.
The 24-year-old started Wednesday's Coppa Italia win against Genoa, opening the scoring and setting up forward partner Gonzalo Higuain for Juve's second goal.
And Allegri hinted Dybala could return to the bench despite impressing in midweek.
"I'm happy that Paulo Dybala was able to find the back of the net in the cup against Genoa," Allegri told a pre-match news conference.
"Paulo has played in 38 matches this year, more than a lot of other players, so it's not unusual if sometimes he has been on the bench."
