Juventus Faces Defensive Crisis Ahead of Monza Clash

Juventus is confronting a significant defensive crisis as they prepare to face Monza in Serie A. Despite being listed in the squad, Brazilian defender Danilo did not travel with the team due to a left ankle sprain sustained during training. He remained in Turin for further assessments at the Continassa training center.

The final decision on Danilo's participation will be made on the morning of the match. However, indications suggest that, even if the injury is not severe, he may not be fit to play against Monza.

This development exacerbates Juventus's defensive woes, with Gleison Bremer and Juan Cabal already ruled out for the remainder of the season. Although Andrea Cambiaso is included in the squad, he is not at full fitness and is unlikely to start.

Manager Thiago Motta faces a challenging task in assembling a robust defense for the upcoming fixture, given the limited options available.
