Juventus faces Sassuolo while managing a deep injury crisis

Juventus travels to the Mapei Stadium in Reggio Emilia today to face Sassuolo in a Serie A fixture. Juventus director Giovanni Carnevali returns to his former club following his departure this summer. The visitors are managing a significant injury list that includes Manuel Locatelli, Jeremie Boga, Weston McKennie, Andrea Cambiaso, Kenan Yildiz, Khephren Thuram, Jeff Ekhator, and Juan Cabal. Due to these absences, Teun Koopmeiners receives a rare start, while the team fields no Italian outfield players for the first time in their history. The match kicks off at 19.45 UK time as Juventus seeks to build on a recent draw against Milan. The squad rotation reflects the need to maintain competitiveness across a demanding schedule.
