Tudor sends message to Henry before Como-Juventus: ‘He has to support us’

Igor Tudor has told Thierry Henry that he ‘has to support us’ as Juventus take on Como at the Stadio Sinigaglia in Serie A on Sunday afternoon. 

Kick-off is set for 11.30 BST. 

You can follow the action as it unfolds on the Football Italia Liveblog.

Juventus and Como get back to Serie A action on Sunday following the October international break. The Bianconeri are without Gleison Bremer and Edon Zhegrova through injury, which means a starting opportunity for Daniele Rugani at the back. 

It remains to be seen whether Juventus line up in the recognised 3-4-2-1, or whether Bremer’s absence means a switch to a back four with Pierre Kalulu on the right and Andrea Cambiaso on the left. 

“Bremer’s injury is irrelevant with these choices, but we must do what is at this moment best for the team. Who says we are playing with four at the back? We’ll see,” Tudor told DAZN Italia before kick-off. 

“We need to play well against an organised team, we tried to prepare what we could in two days, because there was international duty, and will try to impose our game here.”

Tudor ran into Thierry Henry at the Stadio Sinigaglia and they had a laugh, with the Frenchman adjusting the tactician’s tie. Henry is a minority shareholder with Como, but also played alongside Tudor at Juventus in 1999.

So what did they talk about?

“I told him that today he has to cheer on Juventus, as he played for Juve, so he has to support us! Titi is a champion, he understands football and is a good guy.”
