According to Corsport, `This Juve is losing pieces.` As Juventus resumes training today to prepare for the Lazio match, coach Tudor is already working on finding solutions for unavailable players.
One immediate solution discussed is Alberto Costa, presented as the Portuguese player who replaced Cambiaso against Bologna. This could be his first start since arriving in Italy, having accumulated just 144 minutes across 7 appearances so far. He might get his starting chance at the Olimpico, potentially playing on the right flank. This would involve Weah shifting to the left and McKennie staying in central midfield, maintaining the 3-5-2 formation seen in Bologna.
Further options for the Croatian coach depend on potential injury returns. Koopmeiners, dealing with Achilles tendon inflammation, is hoping to recover and could feature in midfield, potentially allowing McKennie, a versatile player, to move to left wing-back. Vlahovic is also aiming for fitness.
Additionally, Gatti is recovering from a fibula fracture sustained in late March and is on the path to return. However, clarity on his availability for the Lazio game will only come in the next few days.
