Juventus captain Leonardo Bonucci could be relegated to the bench in today’s derby against Torino while Nikola Vlasic is expected to start as a false 9 for the Granata.
It kicks off at 17.00 UK time.
It’s a crucial derby della Mole for both sides as Torino only won one game from the last five and Juventus suffered back-to-back defeats against Milan and Maccabi Haifa.
Torino boss Ivan Juric is short of options up front, with strikers Antonio Sanabria and Pietro Pellegri in doubt. The Croatian tactician suggested yesterday that the duo would not be available, but at least one of them could recover and go to the bench.
Samuele Ricci is out due to a fever.
Juventus must cope without Angel Di Maria, Paul Pogba and Federico Chiesa. The day’s big news is that captain Bonucci could go to the bench with former Torino defender Gleison Bremer and Danilo starting at centre-back with Alex Sandro and Cuadrado on the flanks.
It’s a 4-4-2 for Allegri, which can become a 3-5-2 system, Moise Kean is likely to get the nod up front, partnering with Dusan Vlahovic.
Juventus entered a training retreat after their loss to Maccabi Haifa on Tuesday.
Torino-Juventus: probable line-ups
Torino (3-4-2-1): Milinkovic-Savic; Buongiorno, Schuurs, Rodriguez; Singo, Lukic, Linetty, Vojvoda; Radonjic, Vlasic; Miranchuk.
Juventus (4-4-2): Szczesny; Cuadrado Danilo, Bremer; Alex Sandro, McKennie, Locatelli, Rabiot, Kostic; Kean, Vlahovic.
Stop playing mckenmie, kean. These 2 are useless
I would rather to choose under 23 to replace sandro.
#Allegriout
How many times have we seen the midfield trio of Loca-Rabiot-McKennie fail? These three do not work well together. Get Miretti in there!!
Why Kean?
Good got Kean out, get mckennie out, get rabiot out
Locatelli is useless in the midfield
Play paredes- miretti- rabiot
Kean is a flop and surprisingly Locatelli
