While Juventus hoped to get a routine win from their home encounter against Salernitana, they ended up losing two points and losing the services of additional players.
Now surely the whole focus of the club is now directed towards the crucial Champions League clash against Benfica on Wednesday. But what about next weekend’s trip to Monza?
After conceding four draws in six Serie A matchdays, the Bianconeri must stop the run when they take on the newly promoted side. And to further complicate things, the squad will not have many players.
According to JuventusNews24, Max Allegri’s squad will be exhausted for the trip to Brianza, as the coach himself will not be able to play on the touchline due to his dismissal yesterday.
After the controversial call that annulled Arek Milik’s goal, the coach received his marching orders after allegedly objecting to the referee’s decision.
The Polish striker will also miss the match against Monza after receiving a second yellow card for removing his shirt during the celebration of his later disallowed goal.
Juan Cuadrado participated in the melee that followed and received a red card for his role in it.
These absentees will add to a growing roster that includes long-term injured players such as Federico Chiesa, Paul Pogba and Kaio Jorge.
In addition, the conditions of Manuel Locatelli, Angel Di Maria, Adrien Rabiot and Wojciech Szczesny remain doubtful.
We will surely have more updates on the status of the quartet during the week.
