Juventus is preparing for their upcoming Serie A match against Monza, scheduled for Sunday at 20:45. The team is currently managing several injury concerns that could impact their lineup.
Andrea Cambiaso
Defender Andrea Cambiaso has been sidelined due to a shin injury sustained during the match against Bologna.
This injury caused him to miss subsequent games against Manchester City in the Champions League, Venezia in Serie A, and Cagliari in the Coppa Italia.
Reports suggest that Cambiaso is expected to return to the squad for the Monza match, providing a boost to the team’s defensive options.
Douglas Luiz
Midfielder Douglas Luiz made a brief return during the second half of the match against Venezia after a prolonged absence.
However, he was rested for the Coppa Italia fixture against Cagliari due to recurring discomfort. The club is monitoring his condition closely to determine his availability for the upcoming match against Monza.
Timothy Weah
Winger Timothy Weah suffered a low-grade injury to the femoral biceps of his right thigh during the Coppa Italia victory over Cagliari.
Medical assessments indicate that Weah will be out of action for approximately 15 to 20 days. This timeline suggests he will miss the upcoming league matches and is doubtful for the Supercoppa Italiana scheduled in early January.
A more realistic target for his return could be the derby against Torino on January 11.
Manager Thiago Motta will need to adjust his tactics and squad selection to accommodate these injuries as Juventus aims to secure a positive result against Monza.
