Serie A: Juventus vs. Sassuolo – probable line-ups, where to watch on TV
Juventus will look to Kenan Yildiz and Jeremie Boga for a home Serie A match against Sassuolo, who have been hit by a whooping cough outbreak this week.
It kicks off at 20:45 CET (19:45 GMT) at the Allianz Stadium in Turin.
Emil Holm is still unavailable for the Bianconeri, while Dusan Vlahovic is still in doubt, and even if he’s available for selection, he’ll start on the bench.
As reported by several Italian sources, including Sky Sport Italia, Juventus coach Luciano Spalletti is expected to pick the same XI that beat Udinese last week, with Kenan Yildiz playing as a false nine and Boga in the left winger position.
Sassuolo are dealing with a selection crisis as they confirmed a case of whooping cough on Friday and five other team members with symptoms consistent with the disease.
The club, however, have not named those affected by the disease, so their available players will only be known when the teams are announced an hour before kick-off.
As reported by SassuoloNews, the likes of Domenico Berardi, Andrea Pinamonti, and Sebastian Walukiewicz will surely be part of the team and are expected to start.
Cristian Volpato, Luca Moro, Edoardo Iannoni, Pedro Felipe, Aro Muric, Giacomo Satalino, Gioele Zacchi and Cristian Frangella are also expected to be available.
