Juventus travel to Reggio Emilia on Tuesday as they confront a determined Sassuolo outfit.
The Bianconeri will be looking to respond to their recent stalemate against Lecce at home. Sassuolo played impressively since returning to Serie A, holding a solid mid-table spot and posing real challenges to the Old Lady.
Juventus started this year with a 1-1 home stalemate versus Lecce on January 3, 2026. McKennie levelled things up following Banda’s shock opener for the visitors, though David’s wayward spot-kick was denied by Falcone, letting Lecce claim a share of the spoils.
The Turin side holds fourth place on 33 points after 18 games, displaying clear progress since Spalletti took charge. The veteran tactician’s shift to a measured, ball-dominant style has delivered encouraging outcomes lately, reflected in their five-game unbeaten streak spanning competitions.
Juventus team news
The Turin giants are still dealing with an extensive casualty ward. Top scorer Vlahović stays out, nursing a major thigh muscle issue with no return before early March at the earliest.
Gatti’s meniscus operation means he’ll miss action through mid-January at least. Kelly and Conceição are nursing muscle problems and face late fitness tests, potentially compelling Spalletti to tweak his setup.
Rugani joins the absent list with a calf complaint, slated for early February availability, while Rouhi remains touch-and-go and Milik contends with ongoing physical niggles.
Juventus predicted lineup
Possible Juventus starting XI: Di Gregorio; Kalulu, Bremer, Koopmeiners; McKennie, Locatelli, Thuram, Cambiaso; McKennie, Yildiz; Openda.
