Spalletti should do without the Portuguese for the trip to Pisa: David-Openda run-off. Cabal is out
Conceiçao and Cabal risk not making it: the balance on the eve of Pisa-Juve for Spalletti is not the best. Even if the coach has valid alternatives to best face the first of the five matches against the smaller teams in the championship: his own the assist for a new championship dream can come from the calendar. Good signs came from McKennie in the final stages before the match: the American is well and can get a jersey back from the start.
eve of Pisa-Juve
—
It is not a match to be taken lightly, also because Pisa is in a period of crisis which also calls Gilardino’s bench into question. To protect Di Gregorio there should be an unprecedented trio: for the first time Koopmeiners (returning from suspension) next to Bremer, with Kalulu as his right arm. Locatelli and Thuram are in the middle, while McKennie’s availability should keep Cambiaso on the left. Still a few doubts going forward: ballot between Zhegrova and Miretti (Adzic also has chances in the race) to join Yildiz in support of the striker; for Pisa’s defensive line, David seems to have the advantage over Openda.
