Juventus-Atletico Madrid: Kean disciplinary action taken

Juventus named an unusual XI for today’s rescheduled friendly against Atletico Madrid, as Moise Kean is dropped for disciplinary reasons.

The game was originally meant to be in Tel Aviv today, but was moved to Turin’s Continassa training ground following unrest in the area.

It will be played behind closed doors, but there were some surprises in Max Allegri’s side.

Kean is nowhere to be found and Sky Sport Italia report he is not injured, but rather was sent to the stands by Allegri as punishment for turning up late.

It’s hardly a new thing for the striker, who was famously dropped from the Italy Under-21 side for tardiness too.

Instead, youth team player Matias Soulé gets the nod.

Paul Pogba, Juan Cuadrado, Federico Chiesa, Luca Pellegrini and Weston McKennie are all out injured.

Alvaro Morata starts for Atletico Madrid against his former club, with negotiations for a return still continuing.

Juventus: Szczesny; Danilo, Bonucci, Bremer, Alex Sandro; Zakaria, Locatelli, Fagioli; Di Maria, Vlahovic, Soulé

Atletico Madrid: Grbic; Molina, Witsel, Savic, Reinildo; M Llorente, Koke, Saul, Lemar; Joao Felix, Morata
