Nine Juventus first team players absent for Spezia clash

Massimiliano Allegri has announced his 19-man squad for today’s Serie A clash against Spezia, with nine first team players absent.

The Italian coach has to deal with a severely reduced squad this evening at the Allianz Stadium with a number of key players sidelined due to various issues. Daniele Rugani and Federico Bernardeschi have returned to the squad following their recent injuries.

Giorgio Chiellini, Leonardo Bonucci, Mattia De Sciglio, Alex Sandro, Weston McKennie, Denis Zakaria, Paulo Dybala, Federico Chiesa and Kaio Jorge are all unavailable for the Spezia clash, meaning those called up will have to give their all in the hunt for three points.

The Bianconeri currently sit 4th in the Serie A table with 50 points, three ahead of 5th place Atalanta and seven behind 3rd place Milan.

Below is the complete Juventus squad for today’s match against Spezia:

Goalkeepers: Szczesny, Pinsoglio, Perin.

Defenders: De Ligt, Danilo, Cuadrado, Pellegrini, Rugani, Stramaccioni.

Midfielders: Arthur, Bernardeschi, Rabiot, Locatelli, Miretti.

Strikers: Vlahovic, Morata, Kean, Aké, Soulé.
