Juventus are facing an injury crisis at the back as Giorgio Chiellini, Juan Cuadrado and Leonardo Bonucci are injured and Merih Demiral and De Ligt were the only defenders available ahead of last night’s Spezia clash.
It is still uncertain how long De Ligt will remain out of action, but Andrea Pirlo surely hopes for a quick recovery as the Old Lady have two crucial games ahead.
They host Lazio at the Allianz Stadium in a Serie A tie on Saturday and play Porto in the second leg of the last 16 stage of the Champions League on Tuesday.
