Among the Bianconeri, Thuram is at risk. The Granata deploy Lazaro on the left, Aboukhlal returns
The Turin derby will close this afternoon the initial flurry of three matches with which Luciano Spalletti takes the reins of Juventus. There are many solutions to study and little time available at Continassa, so far: for this reason the new Juventus coach approaches the match against the Granata with the intention of not changing the structure of his team too much. The first knot to solve is related to Khephren Thuramwho is not in top condition and therefore should start from the bench, so as to then have the entire break dedicated to the national teams – he was not called up by France – to recover. If so, make room for Weston McKennie alongside Manuel Locatelli in the median with the return of Filip Kostic starter on the left wing. If around the names of Dusan Vlahovic and Kenan Yildiz there should be no doubts for a shirt from the start, the ballot for the third attacking position is alive: Lois Openda he is slightly ahead of Francisco Conceicaobut in addition to the two players chosen respectively against Cremonese and Sporting, Jonathan is not out of the picture David. On Tuesday, the Canadian striker entered the final minutes of the Champions League match with great desire and the temptation is strong to try him alongside Yildiz with the license to push forward until transforming the 3-4-2-1 into a 3-4-1-2. Towards confirmation Teun Koopmeiners as a defensive third, on the left.
bull, the latest training
—
The news of the day was confirmed at the end of a refinement guided by Marco yesterday afternoon Barons in the spotlight: Zakaria Aboukhlal he recovered after an injury that kept him in the infirmary for the last twenty days of the championship. The striker of Turin he is perfectly available, yesterday the second audition went well, after the one on Thursday: he has been called up, since last night he has been living this wait in training camp with his teammates and today he will start on the bench. Marco Baroni (today suspended and will be in the stands, deputy Leonardo Colucci will be on the bench) is therefore full: excluding goalkeeper Israel (not called up, for whom there is no need to force the time for his return thanks to the last, sensational Paleari), the technician has all the staff available. The feeling on the eve of the match is that we are moving towards the re-proposal of the eleven who in the last period have built the streak of five consecutive useful results. There is an air of confirmation for Ilic as director and for Lazarus on the left wing. Vlasic he will increasingly be the leader of the game in his new position as left midfielder. In attack the position of Simeon it is very solid. The Cholito could start paired with Adamsbut Baroni reflects on everything and the hypothesis Ngonge remains valid: the ballot is open.
