Thuram left out of Juventus squad for Udinese clash | OneFootball

Khephren Thuram has not been included in the Juventus squad list for today’s game against Udinese because of a calf injury.

France international Thuram won’t be available for Juventus in today’s game against Udinese.

The Bianconeri have dropped their squad list for the upcoming Serie A fixture kicking off at 18:30 CET, but their star midfielder has been omitted.

According to several sources, including Sport Mediaset, Thuram suffered a calf injury in the final training session before the game.

Teun Koopmeiners is therefore expected to start in central midfield alongside Manuel Locatelli today.

Juventus sacked Igor Tudor on Monday following a 1-0 loss against Lazio, the third consecutive defeat across all competitions for the Bianconeri.

Today, NextGen coach Massimo Brambilla will lead the team from the touchline, but Juventus are expected to announce Luciano Spalletti as their new head coach in the coming hours.

The Tuscan tactician will sign a contract until June with an option to extend if he qualifies for the Champions League.
