Juventus XI vs Sassuolo – Predicted lineup and team news

Juventus will travel to face Sassuolo in their next Serie A fixture, with the match scheduled to take place on Sunday at the MAPEI Stadium.

The Bianconeri will arrive at the Mapei Stadium determined to preserve their unbeaten start to the campaign. Luciano Spalletti’s team began the season with a perfect record, recording a narrow 1-0 away win over Frosinone before beating Parma 2-0 at home. However, Juventus were held to their first draw in their most recent outing, earning a hard-fought 1-1 result against AC Milan. Even with a serious injury and selection crisis affecting the squad, they continue to be regarded as strong contenders for the Serie A title.

Juventus team news

Midfielders Khephren Thuram and captain Manuel Locatelli are expected to remain unavailable for an extended period, while attacking options Kenan Yildiz and Jeremie Boga are also missing.

At the back, Juan Cabal continues to be sidelined, whereas Andrea Cambiaso and Weston McKennie will face late fitness assessments before the match.

The situation is particularly difficult in midfield, where Douglas Luiz and Teun Koopmeiners are currently the only completely fit players available to begin the game.

New arrival Pape Matar Sarr has returned to the squad, but he is not yet ready to feature from the opening whistle. As a result, Gleison Bremer is expected to wear the captain’s armband.

Due to the scale of Juventus’ selection problems, loanee goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario is also projected to be the only Italian player included in the club’s starting XI as the visitors look to extend their unbeaten run.
