Andrea Cambiaso was deemed fit by Juventus coach Thiago Motta in the pre-game presser, but he will ultimately miss Wednesday’s clash against Manchester City due to an ankle problem he suffered in the first half of the recent game versus Bologna. He’s unavailable for the first time in the season. He started in all but two matches in various positions.
According to Sky, Nicolò Savona and Danilo will man the defensive wings, with Jonas Rouhi, who’s a lefty, backing them up. Douglas Luiz and Weston McKennie indeed made the squad as anticipated by the coach.
Kenan Yildiz spoke about the bout to Prime Video a few hours before kickoff and was quizzed about wearing the iconic Juventus no.10 (via Tuttomercatoweb).
“It’ll be a great game against Manchester City. The number isn’t the matter, but rather I have to make the difference. I’ll do my best to help the team, hoping things will go well. It’s a giant satisfaction to wear it. I hope to keep doing better and giving my best.”
“Playing in the Champions League is a dream come true for me. Featuring in these matches, hearing that hymn… I’m really grateful for that.”
After Tuesday’s results, Juventus have fallen to the 22nd position in the standings. Feyenoord are the only side within striking distance that will take the field on Wednesday. Instead, they are four points away from the top eight. They are on par with Manchester City, which have collected two wins, two draws, and one loss too.
