The Absence Of The Roma's Star From The Juventus Match

The upcoming Serie A clash between Juventus and Roma on December 30, 2023, promises to be a thrilling encounter. The match is scheduled to take place at the Allianz Stadium 

Juventus are currently in second place in Serie A and have shown impressive form this season, including a 2-1 victory against Frosinone in their last game

Roma, currently in sixth place, comes off a confidence-boosting 2-0 win against Napoli. They have been inconsistent but capable of surprising top teams.

Dusan Vlahovic is expected to play a crucial role, especially in the absence of Federico Chiesa. Timothy Weah might also start, adding dynamism to their attack.

Lorenzo Pellegrini, who has recently regained form, and Paulo Dybala, if he's fit, could be pivotal in Roma's performance.

Injuries/Suspensions

Chiesa (knee soreness), Locatelli (oblique contusion), and Vlahovic (foot bruise) are probable to play, while Sandro (thigh injury) is doubtful. Cambiaso, Fagioli, and Pogba are suspended

Dybala (thigh strain) is probable, while Renato Sanches (illness) is questionable. Kumbula, Abraham (ACL tears), Smalling (patellar tendon injury), and Aouar (thigh strain) are out.

Expected Lineup 

Juventus (3-5-2): Szczesny; Gatti, Bremer, Danilo; Weah, McKennie, Locatelli, Rabiot, Kostic; Vlahovic, Yildiz.

Roma (3-5-2): Patricio; Mancini, Llorente, N’Dicka; Kristensen, Cristante, Paredes, Bove, Zalewski; Lukaku, Dybala
