Juventus Boosts Starting Lineup with Six Players Returning for Coppa Italia Clash
Juventus is set to enhance its starting lineup with six players returning for the upcoming Coppa Italia clash against Udinese. The match will take place at the Allianz Stadium in Turin as part of the Round of 16. This tournament presents a chance for managers to rotate their squads, providing opportunities for players who have not seen much action in Serie A.
Juventus’ Squad Changes for Coppa Italia
Manager Luciano Spalletti plans to implement several changes for the match against Udinese. According to Tuttosport, the Bianconeri will feature a dynamic lineup with multiple adjustments.
Key Players Returning
- Federico Gatti: After a recent illness, Gatti is expected to reclaim his position in defense.
- Juan Cabal: Cabal may replace either Teun Koopmeiners in defense or Andrea Cambiaso on the wing.
- Joao Mario: The Portuguese winger will get a rare opportunity on the right flank.
- Fabio Miretti: The promising midfielder is likely to start, replacing Khephren Thuram.
- Edon Zhegrova: He is set to make his full debut for Juventus in this matchup.
- Mattia Perin: Perin will continue as the starting goalkeeper after recent consistent performances.
Goalkeeper Decision
Perin’s role as the designated goalkeeper for the Coppa Italia ensures he will be in charge for this crucial match. His presence in the goal has been stable, particularly as Michele Di Gregorio recovers from gastroenteritis.
This upcoming clash against Udinese marks an important milestone for the Juventus squad, as they look to progress further in the Coppa Italia. With significant changes to the lineup, fans will be keenly watching how these players perform on the field.
