Juventus have to find solutions both in defence and midfield, as Andrea Pirlo has called up 22 players for the Derby della Mole.

The coach confirmed he wouldn’t bring Weston McKennie, Arthur Melo or Paulo Dybala for the local derby on Saturday, after the three violated the coronavirus protocol in Italy.

With Gianluigi Buffon suspended and Merih Demiral and Leo Bonucci out with coronavirus, the coach has called up Wojciech Szczesny.

The Poland international feared having contracted COVID-19 himself during the World Cup Qualifiers retreat.
