Overview

• Juventus is grappling with a depleted squad as injuries and suspensions sideline key players, including Kalulu, Savona, and Khéphren Thuram.
• Manager Igor Tudor is preparing to deploy midfielder Manuel Locatelli as a central defender due to a lack of available natural center-backs.
• Federico Gatti, recently back from a lengthy injury, is expected to play through discomfort to support the defensive line.
• Teun Koopmeiners is making progress in recovering from an Achilles issue and could return to bolster the midfield against Udinese.
• Arda Guler Yildiz’s return from suspension provides additional tactical flexibility, particularly in midfield and wide areas.
