Only Manuel Locatelli is expected to recover for Juventus-PSG on Wednesday, meaning that Massimiliano Allegri will be without 12 players against the Ligue 1 giants.

The Bianconeri are facing a deep injury crisis with Paul Pogba, Federico Chiesa, Marley Aké, Kaio Jorge, Angel Di Maria, Dusan Vlahovic, Leandro Paredes, Mattia De Sciglio, Gleison Bremer, Samuel Iling Junior and Weston McKennie all on the treatment table.

Brazilian centre-back Danilo is also going to miss the match against PSG, serving a one-match ban.

Pogba has suffered a new muscle injury and will be forced to the sidelines for 15 days, so he is increasingly likely to miss the World Cup with France.

Vlahovic is dealing with groin pain and is in doubt for the next Serie A match against Inter. He will surely miss the home Champions League match with PSG.

Federico Chiesa could make his season debut against Verona or Lazio even if Max Allegri expects him to be 100% fit in January.

As per Romeo Agresti, Mattia De Sciglio may no longer play for Juventus in 2022. Di Maria and Bremer partially trained with the team today and will be assessed again before Sunday’s game with Inter.

McKennie will remain out of action for at least 15 days due to a rectus femoris injury, while Iling-Junior will be on the treatment table for approximately 20 days after suffering an ankle injury against Lecce on Saturday.
