It’s been a tough week for the Bianconeri. Last Saturday, Juventus managed an uninspiring away draw in Florence, before losing their Champions League opener in an improved but insufficient effort in Paris.
Therefore, the Old Lady cannot afford to drop any additional points and must get back into the winning column when she hosts Salernitana at the Allianz Stadium this weekend.
According to Tuttosport via ilBianconero, Max Allegri is considering various changes for Sunday’s game, with a crucial European clash against Benfica on the horizon.
The manager will reportedly make some changes to his backline in particular, resting at least one of his two Brazilian stalwarts.
Since the beginning of the season, Danilo has always been present on the pitch. For his part, his compatriot Gleison Bremer missed just five minutes of action when he left the field against Spezia at the end of the match due to physical discomfort.
Therefore, the source expects Leonardo Bonucci to lead the defense alongside one of his fellow Italians. Daniele Rugani and Federico Gatti have had a lonely start this season, but one of them should win his second on Sunday.

Thanks to Gatti and Rugani, Allegri should be able to give Bremer a break. However, the team lacks depth in the wingback department, which could force Danilo to work extra shifts.
Mattia De Sciglio and Juan Cuadrado are the Brazilian’s natural alternatives at right-back, but the former also has to cover the unconvincing Alex Sandro on the left flank, while the latter plays in an advanced position due to Ángel Di María’s injury. . .
