The Turk and Bremer are aiming for a recovery at the last minute. The coach has a doubt: Koopmeiners’ position

Journalist

February 24 – 10.48am – MILAN

Kenan Yildiz and Gleison Bremer will do everything to be there against Galatasaray in the second leg of the Champions League playoffs. Both showed up at Continassa on the day of rest granted by Spalletti to the team, so as to carry out work that was functional to even a limited recovery. While the others took the opportunity to spend a few hours in freedom and sweep away the waste accumulated with the latest defeats.

kalulu comes back

Few certainties for Spalletti approaching the match at the Allianz Stadium, in which Juve would have to overturn the 5-2 result achieved in Istanbul to progress to the next round. Kalulu will return to occupy the right side of the defense, after serving his league suspension with Como. For the rest, the coach will have to decide whether to give continuity to the latest choices or create new stimuli with some changes, starting with the goalkeeper: Di Gregorio is experiencing a moment of difficulty, but even Perin has not been flawless on recent occasions.

choices

Bremer’s availability does not change the direction of the other choices in the department, but it can give or take away those guarantees of solidity that have recently been lost. Gatti is ready to do the relay with the Brazilian to team up with Kelly. Left wing: both Cambiaso and Cabal out due to disqualification, at the moment the most natural choice paves the way for Kostic. But the possibility of moving Koop back on the defense line and spreading Kelly on the left-handed side cannot be ruled out. The move could free up space for Locatelli and Thuram in the middle of the pitch by keeping McKennie close to the center forward (David is the favourite), with Yildiz and Conceiçao on the wings. However, comforting indications from the Turk will be needed: otherwise, chances from the start for Miretti.
