Luciano Spalletti has confirmed his squad of 23 players as Juventus travel to Genoa to take on Daniele De Rossi and the Grifone in Serie A on Wednesday evening.
A full round of Serie A fixtures is taking place this midweek, which got off to a flyer on Tuesday night with 18 goals scored across three fixtures for an average of six goals per game: Lazio beat 10-man Sassuolo 6-2 at the Mapei Stadium, Roma rose to a 4-2 victory over Cagliari at the Olimpico, while Cesc Fabregas and Como defeated Torino 3-1 at the Stadio Sinigaglia.

Juventus will be bringing a travelling squad of 23 players, but are still without several key first-team stars, namely Kenan Yildiz, Francisco Conceicao, Nico Gonzalez, Khephren Thuram and Manuel Locatelli. Zeki Celik, Jeff Ekhator, Arkadiusz Milik and Kamil Grabara are also unavailable through injury.
As this is a midweek game in the middle of a busy run of fixtures, Spalletti might be minded to make a few personnel alterations to his starting line-up against Genoa, but is somewhat limited given his long list of unavailable players.
Pre-match reports suggest that it will be a 3-5-2 again for Juventus and that Randal Kolo Muani could drop to the bench. Nick Woltemade and Kerim Alajbegovic could be chosen to lead the line for the Old Lady this evening.
