Juventus Without Locatelli Against Inter Milan At Derby D'Italia

JAKARTA - Juventus are in crisis because they will lose mainstay player Manuel Locatelli against Inter Milan in the Italian Derby d' in the Italian Serie A competition. The 25-year-old midfielder was forced to miss because he had not recovered from an injury in the ribs

The big match in Serie A provides an opportunity for Juve to win the top position of the standings. The reason is, the first volume of Derby d'I' Italy was held at the Bianconeri home at the Allianz Stadium, Sunday, November 27 in the morning WIB.

This is certainly Juve's best chance to carry out a coup. Currently, Juve, who are in second place, have points 29. They are only two points adrift of Inter who are at the top of the standings.

The problem is, Juve is faced with the problem of injured players. Coach Massimiliano Allegri has lost Paul Pogba and Nicolo Fagioli.

If Pogba undergoes a ban on playing for failing a doping test, on the other hand Fagioli is due to his involvement in soccer gambling.

Repotnya lagi, Juve belum bisa menurunkan Timothy Weah, Mattia De Sciglio dan Danilo. Mereka belum sembuh dari cedera yang menjadikan sektor tengah semakin terbatas pemainnya.

In this situation, Allegri hopes for Locatelli when facing Inter. However, he still has not been able to attend training because he is in the process of recovering.

Locatelli became a Juve star when he met a team from the city of Milan. Previously, he scored a single goal which brought La VechiaMA to a 1-0 win against AC Milan at the San Siro. According to Tuttosport, Locatelli is said to be given a kind of protection vest to keep playing in that match.

However, this provision of protection is not recommended because there are vulnerable bones in the ribs.

If there is only a light movement or even just taking a heavy breath, it can make the injury worse. The risk is Locatelli could be recovering longer.

Allegri prefers to prepare substitutes rather than force Locatelli to play.

Weston McKennie midfielder could be an option if he is in good shape after strengthening the United States national team. In addition, Fabio Mertti was able to return to play.
