On Sunday, Juventus will try to get back on track in a must-win game against Salernitana before hosting Benfica in an important Champions League match on Wednesday.
Unfortunately for Max Allegri, he may have to do without the services of two big players in the middle of the park.
According to Tuttosport via JuventusNews24, Manuel Locatelli could skip next week’s European clash before returning to action next weekend on the trip to Monza.
Yesterday, the coach announced the absence of the winner of Euro 2020 in today’s game against the Salerno club due to muscle fatigue.
In another Tuttosport article (via JuventusNews24), the media outlet believes that Adrien Rabiot could also miss the Champions League match against the Portuguese.
The Frenchman had already suffered a blow to the ankle that left him out of last weekend’s clash against Fiorentina.
While he made his comeback against his former club Paris Saint Germain last Tuesday, he apparently picked up another minor injury that will keep him out of action this weekend.
The source claims that the 27-year-old is currently racing against time to get fit just in time for the battle against Benfica.
Meanwhile, Weston McKennie, Fabio Miretti and Nicolò Fagioli will have the chance to prove themselves alongside the club’s new midfielder, Leandro Paredes.
