Igor Tudor has confirmed his squad of travelling players for Saturday’s decisive Serie A clash between Juventus and Lazio, who are level on points in the race for a Champions League spot ahead of the Stadio OIimpico showdown.
Juventus currently occupy fourth spot in the Serie A standings, but are level with sixth-placed Lazio and Roma in fifth (all on 63 points), while Bologna sit just one point behind them all on 62 points with three league matches left to play this season.
Tudor has named a bare-boned Bianconeri squad for the crucial clash in the capital, but is able to welcome back both Dusan Vlahovic and Federico Gatti after their respective spells on the sideline through injury.
Pre-match reports suggest that Vlahovic is in contention to start with a full week of training under his belt, while Gatti will start from the substitute’s bench after the fractured fibula he suffered at the end of March.
Juventus will have to do without Kenan Yildiz through suspension for the second game in a row, adding to a list of players unavailable through injury.
Teun Koopmeiners, Andrea Cambiaso and Lloyd Kelly have not recovered and will not travel for the Lazio game. There are also long-term absentees in Bremer, Juan Cabal and Arkadiusz Milik.
