As Juventus gear up for their Coppa Italia match against Cagliari on Tuesday, the team is facing some challenges with player availability. The match, set to take place at the Allianz Stadium, marks the Bianconeri’s debut in this year’s competition under manager Thiago Motta.
In preparation for the quarterfinal clash, the team held a training session at their Training Center, focusing on ball possession and tactical drills. This encounter will be crucial for Juventus as they aim to defend their title in the national cup after a successful campaign last season.
Unfortunately for Juventus, Brazilian midfielder Douglas Luiz [**will not be participatin**](https://www.calciomercato.com/news/juventus-douglas-luiz-salta-la-coppa-italia-era-tornato-con-il-v-48358)g in the match. Luiz, who recently returned to action against Venezia after a lengthy absence, has been managing his workload carefully. Following a structured plan to ensure his fitness, it has been decided that he will sit out this crucial fixture. He joins other sidelined players including Bremer, Cabal, Milik, and Cambiaso, who is still recovering from an injury sustained in a previous match.
Cagliari come into this match with experience in the Coppa Italia, having already played two matches in the tournament this season. They secured victories against Carrarese and Cremonese to reach this stage. The match will be an important test for both teams as they look to advance further in the competition.
