Juventus make the trip to Sardinia this weekend, taking on Cagliari at the Unipol Domus in their next Serie A fixture.
The Bianconeri currently occupy seventh place in the league table, having picked up three victories, one draw and one loss so far. Luciano Spalletti’s side responded well to a frustrating 3-2 defeat on the road at Sassuolo by beating Atalanta 2-0 at home in their most recent match. With an average of 1.6 goals per game and four clean sheets across all competitions, Juventus’ defensive solidity continues to be one of their biggest strengths as they look to close the gap on the teams above them.
Juventus team news
Juventus head into this league clash with a number of important fitness and selection concerns. Manuel Locatelli and Khéphren Thuram are still unavailable after undergoing knee surgery, while attacker Kenan Yıldız is definitely out after suffering a broken foot.
Jérémie Boga is also absent with a hamstring problem, and young player Jeff Ekhator is working his way back from a thigh injury. There is better news regarding Weston McKennie and Andrea Cambiaso, as both have returned to full training and are likely to be included in the starting XI.
Meanwhile, Nico González could be kept on the substitutes’ bench due to heavy fatigue after a tough international break with Argentina.
Spalletti is expected to stick with a conventional 4-2-3-1 setup, with the recently recovered players expected to play a key role in strengthening a squad that is short in midfield and attack.
