Key Juventus Duo Set for Late Fitness Test Ahead of Lazio Clash – The Probable Lineup | OneFootball

While they prepare to host Lazio on Sunday, Juventus are sweating over the conditions of Kenan Yildiz and Francisco Conceicao.

Juventus Worried About Kenan Yildiz & Francisco Conceicao

The Turkish international complained of muscle fatigue last weekend in Parma, which prompted his half-time exit. While he was fit enough to receive a call-up for Thursday’s Coppa Italia tie against Atalanta, Luciano Spalletti kept him on the bench for the duration of the match, even with the team desperate for a goal that never came.

Moreover, Il Corriere dello Sport (via La Lazio Siamo Noi) revealed that Conceicao is also struggling with muscle overload in his right adductor, which could see him dropped from the starting lineup for the Serie A clash against Lazio. Therefore, both wingers might have to pass a late athletic test to prove their fitness ahead of Sunday’s contest.

Yildiz Expected to Start in Juventus vs Lazio Clash

Nevertheless, Sky Sport Italia and La Gazzetta dello Sport both expect Yildiz to get the nod. The 20-year-old would start on the left wing, with Fabio Miretti and Weston McKennie completing the trident behind Jonathan David in Spalletti’s 4-2-3-1 formation. On the other hand, Conceicao would likely start the contest on the bench, alongside the likes of Edon Zhegrova and new Juventus signing, Jeremie Boga.

The Usual Suspects in Midfield & Defence

In the middle of the park, Khephren Thuram and Manuel Locatelli should combine as usual, while the backline should be constituted of Pierre Kalulu, Gleison Bremer, Lloyd Kelly, and Andrea Cambiaso, with Michele Di Gregorio behind them in goal.

Juventus Probable XI (4-2-3-1): Di Gregorio; Kalulu, Bremer, Kelly, Cambiaso; Locatelli, Thuram; McKennie, Miretti, Yildiz; David
