Frosinone coach Eusebio Di Francesco warns his players about Kenan Yildiz ‘technique and final pass’ but suggests Juventus may be less dangerous on counter-attacks without Federico Chiesa.

Chiesa has been ruled out of Juventus’ game against Frosinone with a slight knee injury and has been replaced by 18-year-old striker Yildiz who starts his first Juventus game today.

“The players we’ll face today have different characteristics,” Frosinone coach Di Francesco told DAZN kick-off.

“The fact that they are without Chiesa already changed the characteristics of a team that relied on him for counter-attacks because he has the capacity to break defences with his pace.

“Yildiz is a different player, maybe with more technique and a [better] final pass. There will be more late runs from other players, contrary to what would have happened with Chiesa. This, however, should not change our plan.”

Frosinone-Juventus kicks off at 11:30 GMT at the Stadio Stirpe. Follow the game live on the Football Italia LIVEBLOG.
