Juventus Announces Squad for Crucial Roma Match
Juventus manager Igor Tudor has unveiled the team’s roster for the upcoming Serie A fixture against Roma at the Stadio Olimpico. The match, scheduled for Sunday, is pivotal in the race for European qualification next season.
Currently, Juventus holds the fifth position with 55 points, while Roma, riding a wave of good form, trails closely in sixth place with 52 points. The outcome of this encounter could significantly impact both teams’ European aspirations.
Tudor confirmed during his pre-match press conference that Andrea Cambiaso and Douglas Luiz have resumed training and are included in the squad. However, he clarified that neither player is expected to start the match.
Two notable absences from last week’s lineup are Federico Gatti, who is sidelined with a fibula fracture, and goalkeeper Mattia Perin, who is dealing with a muscle injury. Despite not being in the matchday squad, Perin is reportedly traveling with the team. Young goalkeeper Giovanni Daffara has been called up to fill the void.
Juventus Squad for Roma Match:
Goalkeepers: Di Gregorio, Pinsoglio, Daffara
Defenders: Alberto Costa, Kelly, Renato Veiga, Kalulu, Cambiaso, Savona, Rouhi
Midfielders: Locatelli, Koopmeiners, McKennie, Thuram, Douglas Luiz
Forwards: Vlahovic, Kolo Muani, Conceicao, Yildiz, N.Gonzalez, Weah, Mbangula
This crucial matchup between Juventus and Roma promises to be a thrilling contest with significant implications for both teams’ European ambitions.
