Juventus Names Squad for Serie A Clash Against Genoa
Juventus has announced its 23-man squad ahead of the Serie A match against Genoa, where they will face Daniele De Rossi and the Grifone on Wednesday evening. The match is set to take place at the Stadio Luigi Ferraris, kicking off at 19:45 GMT (20:45 CET).
This midweek fixture follows an exciting Tuesday night in Serie A, which featured a total of 18 goals across three matches. Lazio secured a dominant 6-2 victory over 10-man Sassuolo at the Mapei Stadium, while Roma achieved a hard-fought 4-2 win against Cagliari at the Olimpico. Additionally, Cesc Fabregas and Como triumphed over Torino, finishing 3-1 at the Stadio Sinigaglia.
Juventus travels to Genoa missing several pivotal players from their first team, including Kenan Yildiz, Francisco Conceicao, Nico Gonzalez, Khephren Thuram, and Manuel Locatelli. Injuries have also sidelined Zeki Celik, Jeff Ekhator, Arkadiusz Milik, and Kamil Grabara.
With a busy fixture schedule ahead, Juventus coach Luciano Spalletti may consider adjusting his starting eleven for the match against Genoa. However, the coach finds himself limited in options due to the players unavailable for selection.
Pre-game speculation suggests that Juventus may line up in a 3-5-2 formation, potentially benching Randal Kolo Muani in favor of Nick Woltemade and Kerim Alajbegovic to lead the attack.
