Juventus defender Angelo Ogbonna has claimed that Carlos Tevez's ban will not affect the Italian side when they come up against Cesena on Sunday.

The Argentine is currently in good form, netting 14 times in his last 21 games for Juve, but will miss the league leaders' trip through suspension.

Ogbonna believes that his side have enough cover to maintain their seven-point lead over Roma at the top of the Serie A table.

"I don't think the loss of Tevez will cause us any problems," the 26-year-old said, according to Goal.com.

"We've experienced many absences this year and plenty of alternatives have been capable of coming in and replacing the so-called regular starters without any difficulties.

"But we need to be focused. The fact that Roma could win [at home to Parma] in the afternoon doesn't put us under pressure but our aim is to get the three points in Cesena."

Spanish pairing Alvaro Morata and Fernando Llorente could lead the line for Juventus at the weekend.
