The latest reports in Italy claim Weston McKennie will go on the Juventus bench against Lazio, while Mattia De Sciglio will play the first game in 10 months, allowing Massimiliano Allegri to switch to a 4-3-3 system.
Juventus will visit Lazio at the Stadio Olimpico today, Saturday, March 30. The match kicks off at 17:00 GMT.
Goal.com’s correspondent Romeo Agresti and Calciomercato.com report that USMNT international McKennie will initially go on the bench for the Bianconeri and be replaced by Fabio Miretti in central midfield.
De Sciglio will play his first game since May 2023. The ex-Milan defender suffered an anterior cruciate ligament injury 10 months ago and hasn’t yet played a competitive match since.
De Sciglio’s inclusion in the starting XI means Allegri will switch to a 4-3-3 system with Andrea Cambiaso deployed as an attacking right winger.
The final change for Allegri is in central defence, with Daniele Rugani expected to replace Federico Gatti and join Gleison Bremer at centre-back.
Juventus won just one game from the last eight, collecting just one victory.
Probable Juve XI vs. Lazio: (4-3-3): Szczesny; Danilo, Bremer, Rugani, De Sciglio; Miretti, Locatelli, Rabiot: Cambiaso, Kean, Chiesa.
