Spalletti prepare major changes on Lineup vs Lazio

Juventus have little time to celebrate their comeback victory in Vigo, with Luciano Spalletti already focused on the next major challenge: Sunday’s Serie A showdown against Lazio at the Allianz Stadium.

According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, the Juventus manager has two immediate priorities ahead of the clash: helping his players recover as much energy as possible and carrying the momentum from their European success into the league.

Lazio, led by Rino Gattuso, who succeeded Spalletti as Italy national team manager, will arrive in Turin looking to challenge the Bianconeri. With the match approaching quickly, Spalletti is expected to make several changes to his starting lineup.

Bremer and Kolo Muani Set for Juventus Returns

Spalletti is reportedly preparing to reverse his rotation policy by bringing back several key players who started on the bench against Vigo. Captain Bremer is expected to return to the starting eleven, alongside other important names, including Lucumi, Nico González and Randal Kolo Muani.

The decision would allow Juventus to field a stronger lineup for a crucial domestic fixture while managing the physical demands of a busy schedule.

The Bianconeri will be eager to build on their European performance and maintain their momentum in Serie A. However, Lazio’s visit presents a significant test, making the return of several regular starters particularly important.

Boga Could Return as Zhegrova Offers Another Attacking Option

There could also be positive news from Juventus’ medical department. Jeremie Boga is scheduled to undergo a fitness test at Continassa on Saturday, according to La Gazzetta dello Sport, as he continues his recovery from a serious thigh injury that has kept him out since early September.

If he receives the green light, the Ivorian winger could return to the bench against Lazio, giving Spalletti another option in attack. Boga could be particularly useful, having made a decisive contribution with an assist when the teams met last season.

Edon Zhegrova could also play an important role. The winger has been among Juventus’ most in-form players in recent weeks, but his exclusion from the UEFA squad list means he is available only for Serie A and Coppa Italia matches.

That restriction makes Sunday’s encounter an important opportunity for Zhegrova to make his mark.
