Juventus team news for Monza

Juventus are preparing to take on Monza in Serie A on Sunday, as the Bianconeri look to climb back into the top four positions. Igor Tudor’s side currently sit in fifth, one point behind Bologna in the Champions League spots following a 1-0 loss against Parma on Wednesday. 

Juve were without Koopmeiners for the Parma match: He did not travel with the rest of the squad, and is also expected to miss the Monza match on Sunday as well. 

Dusan Vlahovic started against Parma, but did not reappear for the start of the second half. It has since been confirmed that he is struggling with a muscular overload in his thigh, which means that he is expected to miss the Monza game as well. 

That means that Kolo Muani, who was given his first start under Tudor for the Parma loss, is in line to start in his natural position at centre-forward. 

Pre-match reports suggest that Yildiz and Nico Gonzalez are the expected starters in the supporting attacking roles, although Francisco Conceicao is also pushing for a return to the starting line-up. 

The Monza match could still be one game too soon for Samuel Mbangula, who has returned to training on Friday after missing the last two matches through a muscular injury. He has not featured since Tudor took over from Thiago Motta in March.
