Juventus will have to do without Dusan Vlahovic for another week as Luciano Spalletti and his team prepare to take on Udinese away from home inSerie A on Saturday evening.
The Bianconeri have bounced back after a dismal run of results in February and have since recordeda 3-3 comeback draw away against Roma anda 4-0 thrashing of Pisa over their last two Serie A matches at the beginning of March.
Spalletti’s side are locked in a battle for one of the positions in the top four, and currently find themselves in sixth place on 50 points, one shy of fourth position ahead of Saturday’s fixtures.
Hosts Udinese are also unbeaten over their two games in March so far, havingbeaten Fiorentina 3-0 at the beginning of the month and having recordeda 2-2 draw away against Atalanta last weekend. They are in 11th place ahead of the Juve clash.
There had been hopes earlier this week that Vlahovic would be able to feature for the Old Lady after missing almost four months of action with an adductor injury. The Serbian has been in training last week, but it was confirmed on Friday that he would not be risked and is therefore not part of the matchday squad.
Mattia Perin is expected to keep hold of his place between the sticks, with Michele Di Gregorio still out of favour after a series of disappointing displays across this season.
Only Inter’s Lautaro Martinez has scored more goals in Serie A this season than Udinese striker Keinan Davis, who sits in joint-second in the league’s goalscoring charts along with an impressive list of names: Kenan Yildiz, Rafael Leao, Nico Paz, Rasmus Hojlund and Anastasios Douvikas, all of whom have nine so far. Davis is expected to start alongside Nicolo Zaniolo in attack on Saturday.
Kick-off is due at 19.45 GMT.
