Luciano Spalletti has confirmed a travelling squad of 22 Juventus players to take on Napoli in Sunday evening’s top-of-the-table clash in Serie A, but is forced to do without Dusan Vlahovic, Gleison Bremer, Federico Gatti or Daniele Rugani.
The Bianconeri will take on the Partenopei at the Stadio Maradona on Sunday evening, kicking off at 19.45 GMT.
Curiously, this is the first time that Spalletti has gone up against Antonio Conte as a head coach.
The Bianconeri are without leading goalscorer Vlahovic, who is expected to miss the next three months, if not more with a high-grade tear in his left adductor. He has recently had surgery in an attempt to amend the issue.
Juventus also lost Federico Gatti to injury during Tuesday evening’s 2-0 Coppa Italia victory over Udinese. He joins Bremer and Rugani on the list of unavailable centre-backs for Sunday’s game.
Pre-match reports suggest that Spalletti will go with a back three of Pierre Kalulu, Lloyd Kelly and Teun Koopmeiners for Sunday’s clash against Napoli.
Goalkeepers: Perin, Di Gregorio.
Defenders: Kelly, Kalulu, J.Mario, Cambiaso, Cabal, Rouhi, Scaglia, P.Felipe.
Midfielders: Locatelli, Koopmeiners, Adzic, Kostic, Thuram, Miretti, McKennie.
Forwards: Conceicao, Yildiz, Zhegrova, Openda, David.
