On Sunday morning, Juventus released their matchday squad for the evening showdown against Napoli at the Stadio Maradona.
Whenever the club is playing away from home, the list is usually released on the eve of the match. However, the Bianconeri opted for a different arrangement this time.
Instead of travelling to Naples on Saturday afternoon, they delayed their flight to Sunday morning, as they didn’t want to spend the night in a hostile environment, where Partenopei fans could gather around the team’s hotel and prevent them from enjoying a good night’s sleep.
The Bianconeri are now on their way to Southern Italy, so the matchday squad has finally been released on the club’s official website.

Luciano Spalletti has called up 22 players for his highly anticipated return to his old ground. He will have to do without five injured first-team players, including Federico Gatti and Dusan Vlahovic, who both underwent surgeries on Thursday.
Moreover, Gleison Bremer and Daniele Rugani remain out, although their return to the pitch could occur in the coming days.
