Juventus midfielder Hernanes has insisted that the Old Lady must start winning matches following a disappointing start to the season.

The Serie A champions have lost both of their first two league games of the new campaign, which has left them already six points off the pace.

Hernanes, however, who joined Juve from Inter in the summer, is confident that his team will be ready for this weekend's clash against Chievo.

"There are two things to talk about. If we're talking about the level we play at, then it might take some time to know each other and do things by heart. However, in terms of the results, there are no excuses and we have to start picking up three points," Hernanes told Sky Sports News.

"We're ready, we've been working well in the last few days. I think we've reached a good level of physical condition, and we're ready."

Juventus have won the Italian league in each of the last four seasons.
