According to reports in Gazzetta, highlighting a theme of `A Juve for Champions`, the team is set for a crucial direct clash this Sunday holding a one-point advantage. However, they will be severely hampered by the absence of defender Kelly, who is ruled out for at least two matches due to injury.
This setback means coach Igor Tudor will have only two recognized central defenders, Pierre Kalulu and Renato Veiga, available for Sunday evening`s fixture at the Dall`Ara stadium. Consequently, Tudor must innovate defensively, potentially altering the formation or utilising other players in unfamiliar roles. Candidates mentioned for these makeshift defensive positions include Savona, Locatelli, and Cambiaso.
