Juventus squad for Lecce trip sees nine out amid injury crisis

Luciano Spalletti has named his 20-man squad as Juventus have a difficult trip to Lecce, with nine players out injured.

It kicks off at the Stadio Via del Mare on Sunday at 17.00 GMT (18.00 local time).

The Bianconeri are in crisis after failing to register a Serie A victory since September 20 against Atalanta.

They have since scraped a 1-1 draw away to Cagliari and been humiliated 3-0 at home by Lazio, while they were held to a 2-2 draw in Turin by Stade Rennais in the Europa League on Thursday evening.

That proved to be a costly occasion, as both Zeki Celik and Nico Gonzalez sustained fresh injuries and are therefore ruled out for tomorrow’s game.

Juve were already missing Kenan Yildiz, Khephren Thuram, Jeff Ekhator, Manuel Locatelli and Kamil Grabara, while Arkadiusz Milik has been out for so long that he was removed from the Serie A list.
