Juventus to change their defence for the Celta Vigo game

Juventus plans to alter their defensive lineup for their upcoming Europa League match against Celta Vigo. The Italian club returns to European competition after a recent victory over NEC, seeking to build on that success.

Celta Vigo, a Spanish team, presents a unique challenge due to their competitive domestic league. Despite this, Juventus remains one of the strongest teams in this season’s Europa League, providing them with hope for another European triumph.

The club aims to secure a deep run in the tournament, with fans expecting consistent victories throughout the season. Early performances could build momentum before the knockout stages.

There are several tough opponents in the Europa League, and Celta Vigo could pose a significant challenge. Juventus will still strive for victory, but may make changes to the starting lineup. Manager Luciano Spalletti has the opportunity to rotate his squad during this match.

Two players, Federico Gatti and Lloyd Kelly, are reportedly in line to start in defense. The report suggests they could partner in central defense against Celta Vigo. Gatti and Kelly have been replaced by Gleison Bremer and Jhon Lucumi in league matches, but Spalletti may favor their pairing over the latter two.

Allowing Gatti and Kelly to return would enable Juventus to evaluate their depth while keeping other options fresh. However, this selection remains uncertain and not yet confirmed. Regardless, Juventus aims to maintain their defensive organization as they pursue another European win.
