Juventus Faces Roma Without Gatti, Vlahovic

Juventus is facing a challenging situation as they prepare for their upcoming match against AS Roma. Injuries have hit the team hard, leaving key players sidelined.

Injury Troubles for Juventus

Following their recent win against Udinese in the Coppa Italia round of 16, the Bianconeri have confirmed significant injuries. Defender Gatti has torn his medial meniscus in his right knee, and his absence is a setback for the team’s defense.

Upcoming Fixture Details

Juventus is set to face AS Roma on December 20 at the Allianz Stadium. The injuries have forced Coach Luciano Spalletti to devise new strategies for the defense.

Key Player Absences

  • Gatti: Will miss the match due to a knee injury, sidelined for at least a month.
  • Vlahovic: Undergoing surgery for a serious muscle tear, out for a minimum of four months.
  • Bremer: Already missing from the lineup due to previous injury.

Gatti’s contract extends until 2025, but with this injury, his immediate contributions will be missed. The team now looks to Rugani and Kelly to fill the gaps in defense. The absence of Vlahovic, who suffered a severe thigh injury during the match against Cagliari, compounds the challenge for Juventus.

This match against Roma will test the depth and resilience of Juventus as they aim to secure a vital victory despite these setbacks.
