Teun Koopmeiners looks set to return to the Juventus midfield as Luciano Spalletti navigates an early build-up of injuries ahead of a Serie A clash away against Sassuolo on Sunday evening.
The Bianconeri will be hoping to keep their unbeaten start to the 2026-27 season alive when they take on Sassuolo at the Mapei Stadium, kicking off at 19.45 BST.
Spalletti’s side picked up victories over Frosinone and Parma to start the new campaign, but were held to a 1-1 draw by Milan at the Allianz Stadium last weekend. Hosts Sassuolo find themselves in 10th place ahead of kick-off with one win, one draw and one defeat to their name after three matches.
The Old Lady are without captain Manuel Locatelli, who is expected to be sidelined for the next few months. The same is also true for Khephren Thuram, and with Weston McKennie not yet available either, the previously ‘unwanted’ pair of Koopmeiners and Douglas Luiz are set to start in midfield.
Tottenham loanee Pape Matar Sarr is expected to be included in the matchday squad for the first time since his summer move to Turin.
There is no Kenan Yildiz either. Summer signing Kerim Alajbegovic deputised against Milan last weekend and is likely to do the same again against Sassuolo. Pre-match reports from Sky Sport Italia suggest that Nico Gonzalez is more likely to start in the central attacking midfield role over Nick Woltemade.
Andrea Cambiaso, Jeremie Boga, Jeff Ekhator and Juan Cabal are not expected to feature.
Kick-off is due at 19.45 BST.
Sassuolo (4-3-3): Muric; Cinquegrano, Leysen, Idzes, Doig; Adzic, Matic, Bakola; Berardi, Esposito, Lauriente.
Juventus (4-2-3-1): Vicario; Kalulu, Bremer, Lucumi, Celik; Douglas Luiz, Koopmeiners; Conceicao, N.Gonzalez, Alajbegovic; Kolo Muani.
