Juventus is likely to be without Andrea Cambiaso and Douglas Luiz for their upcoming Serie A match against Monza, scheduled for Sunday at 19:45 GMT at the U-Power Stadium.

The Turin giants are currently experiencing a rough patch in Serie A, having drawn their last four matches. The team is already missing several key players due to long-term injuries, including Arkadiusz Milik, Gleison Bremer, and Juan Cuadrado.

Manager Massimiliano Allegri had hoped for more options, but recent reports from the Continassa training ground suggest otherwise. Both Cambiaso and Douglas Luiz are yet to return to full training with their teammates, making their availability for Sunday’s match highly unlikely.

The club is optimistic that both players may recover in time for the crucial match against Fiorentina on December 29th. However, the ongoing injury crisis continues to pose challenges for Juventus as they aim to maintain their position in the league standings.

Douglas Luiz, who joined Juventus from Aston Villa for €50 million in the summer, has struggled to make a significant impact so far. The Brazilian midfielder has made 11 appearances across Serie A and the Champions League but has yet to contribute a goal or assist.

As Juventus prepares to face Monza, Allegri will need to carefully manage his limited resources and devise a strategy to secure a much-needed victory, despite the absence of key players.
