Juventus probable formation vs Sassuolo: Rabiot vying for starting spot

Tonight, Juventus will host Sassuolo at the Allianz Stadium in what will be their first match of the second half of the Serie A campaign.

The Bianconeri will seek revenge against the only team that toppled them this season.

So how will Max Allegri line up his troops when facing his former employers?

According to Sky Sport Italia, Wojciech Szczesny will start in goal with the defensive trio of Danilo, Gleison Bremer and Daniele Rugani ahead of him.

The latter seems the favorite to replace the suspended Federico Gatti, leaving Alex Sandro on the bench.

In the middle of the park, the fountain awaits the return of Adrien Rabiot. Although the coach had confirmed that the Frenchman had recovered from an injury, his starting place remains in doubt.

However, Sky advises Rabiot to join Manuel Locatelli and Fabio Miretti in midfield, while Weston McKennie serves a one-match ban.

On the wings, Andrea Cambiaso could occupy the right flank and Filip Kostic on the opposite side.

In attack, Kenan Yildiz should retain his starting spot, joining Dusan Vlahovic, who was rested in the Coppa Italia match against Frosinone. Federico Chiesa returns from injury but should start from the bench.

On the other hand, La Gazzetta dello Sport reports on a slightly different lineup. The pink newspaper does not expect Rabiot to start the game.

Instead, the source sees Cambiaso covering the midfield alongside Locatelli and Miretti, with Timothy Weah on the right wing.
