Europa League: AZ Alkmaar vs. Juventus – probable line-ups, where to watch on TV
Juventus midfielder Teun Koopmeiners will face off against his brother, Peer, in the Bianconeri’s away Europa League match against AZ Alkmaar.
It kicks off at 21:00 CET [20:00 GMT] at the AFAS Stadion in Alkmaar, right after Milan- Ferencváros.
Juventus come to this match without 11 first-team players, including Weston McKennie, Kenan Yildiz, Khephren Thuram and Manuel Locatelli.
Coach Luciano Spalletti has only 15 outfield players available, so he has limited options to rotate his squad, except in defence, where Lloyd Kelly and Federico Gatti will join Gleison Bremer.
According to Sky Sport and Gazzetta, Pierre Kalulu will start at right wing-back, while Koopmeiners will join Pape Matar Sarr in central midfield.
Koopmeiners will cross paths with his younger brother Peer, who is also a central midfielder and is expected to start for AZ.
Randal Kolo Muani and Nick Woltemade are likely to start up front, with Jeremie Boga completing a three-man attack, allowing Kerim Alajbegovic to rest.
