Thiago Motta confirms six Juventus players out against Lazio | OneFootball

Thiago Motta confirms six Juventus players won’t be available against Lazio on Saturday, but Nicolò Fagioli and Timothy Weah will be eligible to play.

Juventus’ Serie A campaign resumes Saturday with a home match against Marco Baroni’s Lazio.

The Bianconeri are dealing with several injuries, especially in midfield, and Motta confirmed at a press conference on Friday that six players won’t be part of the squad tomorrow.

They are the injured Teun Koopmeiners, Arkadiusz Milik, Gleison Bremer, Nico Gonzalez, Weston McKennie and the suspended Francisco Conceiçao.

Motta didn’t name Weah and Fagioli among the unavailable players, meaning both will be available for selection tomorrow.

Weah has recovered from an ankle injury after missing the last game before the international break.

Fagioli had picked up a knock while on Italy international duty, missing a training session on Thursday.

Juventus-Lazio kicks off at 20:45 CET (18:45 GMT) at the Allianz Stadium tomorrow, Saturday, October 19.

Both sides have 13 points in the Serie A table, three fewer than table leaders Napoli.
