Juventus host Como at the Allianz Stadium in a Serie A clash on Saturday afternoon.
Luciano Spalletti’s team come into this game in poor form, having lost their last two matches. They were beaten 5-2 by Galatasaray in the first leg of their Champions League play-off in Istanbul, despite going into the break 2-1 up. In the league, they sit fifth in the table on 46 points from 25 games.
Juventus team news
Juventus will be unable to call on defender Pierre Kalulu, who is serving a one‑match suspension after being sent off against Inter Milan. Emil Holm is still out with the calf problem he picked up in that same defeat, and he is expected to remain sidelined for around a month.
Gleison Bremer’s situation is more positive after he limped off in the loss to Galatasaray. Tests at J Medical showed no serious damage to his right thigh, though this weekend may come too soon for him, with a possible return pencilled in for the second leg against Galatasaray next week.
Arkadiusz Milik and Dusan Vlahovic are also set to miss this fixture. Jonathan David is a doubt and could be forced to sit out as well. That could open the door for Lois Openda to start up front, although Weston McKennie may once again be pushed into a more advanced role if required.
Juventus predicted lineup
Possible Juventus starting XI: Di Gregorio; Gatti, Kelly, Koopmeiners; Cambiaso, Locatelli, Thuram, McKennie; Conceicao, Yildiz; Openda
When will the match kick off?
The match will kick off at 2pm BST on Saturday, 21st February.
