We are almost an hour from kick-off and Juventus have announced their official formation for the match against Maccabi Haifa on matchday four of the Champions League group stage.
Max Allegri’s lineup includes two surprise additions. The first is Daniele Rugani’s introduction at the end. The Italian will line up alongside compatriot Leonardo Bonucci in defence, while Gleison Bremer enjoys a rare break.
The second unexpected addition is also on the back. While many sources believed that Danilo could be dropped for him to avoid a possible suspension for the Benfica clash, the Brazilian will start at right back after all, with Alex Sandro on the left side.
With Danilo back, Juan Cuadrado will play further up the field, while Weston McKennie will take the opposite wing. Finally, Ángel Di María will support Dusan Vlahovic up front.
Juventus XI (4-4-1-1): Szczesny; Danilo, Rugani, Bonucci, Sandro; Square, Walls, Rabiot, McKennie; of Mary; Vlahović
