David & Openda Lead Juventus Attack Amidst Vlahovic Injury

Juventus faces a significant setback as star striker Dusan Vlahovic is sidelined for approximately three months following a serious muscle injury that may require surgery. This absence forces a reshuffling of the forward line for tonight's Coppa Italia Round of 16 tie against Udinese.

Luciano Spalletti's side will look to the attacking duo of Jonathan David and Lois Openda to lead the line at the Allianz Stadium. Reports suggest Vasilije Adzic will feature as an attacking midfielder, though Francisco Conceiçao is also being considered for that role.

In defense, Federico Gatti, Lloyd Kelly, and Juan Cabal are expected to form a three-man backline, with Teun Koopmeiners and Fabio Miretti anchoring the midfield. The team aims to secure a victory against an Udinese side also expected to rotate their squad.
