Juventus manager Max Allegri has confirmed the absence of two key players from their match against Lecce this weekend.
The Bianconeri lost their last official match against Benfica and that is why they were eliminated from the Champions League.
However, they are on a two-match winning streak in Serie A and will be keen to add another win to the list when they take on Lecce.
They will have to do without two key players because Manuel Locatelli and Dusan Vlahovic will be unavailable.
During his pre-match press conference, Allegri explains why via Calciomercato:
“Available at the last moment, Vlahovic has not recovered from adductor pain. And Locatelli will also be missing for personal reasons. We have enough players to play tomorrow’s match. Let’s start again from the anger of the elimination in the Champions”.
Juve FC says
Locatelli and Vlahovic have been key players for us this season, but we have a great squad and their absence is an opportunity for other players to step up and prove themselves.
We have other options in midfield to replace Locatelli and Kean could continue his goalscoring form for the club in Vlahovic’s absence.
It will be interesting to see how the players respond to the defeat in Lisbon in this game.
