Lloyd Kelly to miss Bologna game — and maybe more — with hamstring injury Another one bites the dust. Even if everything had gone swimmingly during Sunday’s matchup against Monza, Igor Tudor still would have some decisions to make when it comes to who plays in the top four showdown with Bologna this coming weekend. ............ One of Juventus’ regular starters under Tudor walked through the doors at J Medical on Monday morning, with the result being just about what you would expect it to be when something like that happens. That player to visit J Medical the morning after Juventus’ win over last-place Monza was the much-maligned Lloyd Kelly, who reported a muscle problem in his right thing following the final whistle, according to an update posted on the Juventus website. Due to his hamstring injury, Kelly is set to miss at least 10 days — which will keep him out for the trip to Bologna and potentially more if he’s not able to recover in time and rejoin his teammates prior to the trip to Rome to face Lazio in two weeks. ............ Now with Kelly — one of the two center backs to arrive on loan during the winter transfer window — getting hurt, he is added to the list of Juventus defenders to suffer some sort of injury this season. Basically, it’s every single one of them have been injured at some point: Gleison Bremer Juan Cabal Federico Gatti Pierre Kalulu Andrea Cambiaso Nicolo Savona Renato Veiga It’s unrelenting. And now, with a interim manager who has played with a three-man defense in all five of his games in charge, Juventus are down to two healthy center backs if Gatti is unable to recover in time to face Bologna on Sunday night. Does that mean Tudor even considers switching to a four-man defense like was used with Thiago Motta? Or will he shift somebody like Savona into the three-man backline to try and prevent massive changes ahead of such a big game? ............ .

Tudor must choose between two emergency options to replace Lloyd Kelly Juventus were dealt a fresh blow as Lloyd Kelly has been ruled out of next weekend’s major showdown against Bologna. ............ This is a particularly painful blow for Igor Tudor, as his backline had already been pared to the bone due to the absences of Gleison Bremer and Federico Gatti. This situation certainly doesn’t bode well for the Croatian whose tactical system is built on a three-man backline, but now only has two centre-backs at available at his disposal in Renato Veiga and Pierre Kalulu. But despite the lack of personnel, the early predictions suggest the 46-year-old won’t ditch his tried-and-tested formation, but will instead seek an emergency solution by fielding a player out of position. Tudor has two clear options in Nicolo Savona and Manuel Locatelli. ............ Savona is originally a right-back, but he has experience playing as part of Massimo Brambilla’s three-man defence during his time with Juventus Next Gen. In this case, Kalulu might switch to the left side to accommodate the 22-year-old, as Tudor would likely want to confirm Veiga as the central defender. As for Locatelli, he has also been deployed as a centre-back on a few occasions this season, including the Champions League contest against Benfica when Kalulu was forced out with an injury. ............ .

“I like playing alongside him” – Thuram praises Juventus teammate, reveals Tudor’s instructions Juventus midfielder Khephren Thuram is delighted to play alongside his compatriot Randal Kolo Muani. On Sunday, Nicolas Gonzalez opened the scoring for the Bianconeri against Monza with a long-range screamer, and the two Frenchmen then combined for the second. Thuram drove the ball forward with a surging run deep from his own half all the way to the opposition box before picking up Kolo Muani with a clever assist. The latter made no mistake in front of goal, placing his shot in the bottom corner to end his goal drought. ............ But while Muani’s future is yet to be written, Thuram is cherishing the opportunity to play alongside his countryman, while explaining his own role in Igor Tudor’s playing system. “The coach asks me to play a little more forward to make these runs,” said the Juventus midfielder in his post-match interview. “Kenan passed the ball to me and Randal scored a great goal. I saw that I had space and I saw Kolo, I like playing alongside him. He always does these things in training, it was easy for me to see him.” ............ “In the first half, the game was going well, we played very well both with the ball and without it, creating several chances. “In the second half, I don’t think we suffered too much, but playing with ten men was certainly more difficult.” ............ “Now Bologna await us, we know it could be a decisive match like the one against Lazio: all the matches between now and the end of the season are very important for us, because we want to qualify for the Champions League. We have to win as many games as possible.” . Read more -> https://www.juvefc.com/playing-thuram-juventus-kolo-muani/

Not just Conceicao – Another Juventus summer signing is out of Tudor’s plans Juventus head coach Igor Tudor apparently doesn’t have a place for Douglas Luiz in his tactical scheme. ............ Francisco Conceicao lost his regular starting spot, as Tudor finds him ill-suited to his 3-4-2-1 formation which doesn’t include out-and-out wingers. But the young Portuguese isn’t alone in his regard, as Douglas Luiz finds himself on the same boat. The Brazil international was one of the club’s biggest acquisitions last summer. He was signed from Aston Villa in a swap deal that included Enzo Barrenechea and Samuel Iling-Junior. The operation cost the Bianconeri more than 50 million euros. ............ But while Motta had clear plans for his compatriot, it appears that Tudor considers him inapt to his system, preferring to deploy players who add physicality and energy to the middle of the park, mainly Thuram, Manuel Locatelli and Weston McKennie. Hence, the source believes Douglas’ absence isn’t entirely related to his physical condition, but is rather a technical choice on the manager’s part. ............ .

Full blown crisis for Juventus as Kelly suffers injury Juventus’ defensive woes have taken a turn for the worse, as Lloyd Kelly picked up an injury during Sunday’s contest against Monza. ............ Yildiz is expected to receive a ban that will keep him out of action for at least two weekends, so he’ll skip the crucial contests against direct Champions League rivals Bologna and Lazio. And if losing one of his most influential players up front wasn’t enough, Igor Tudor will also have to do without Kelly at the back. ............ “Lloyd Kelly, having reported a muscle problem in his right thigh at the end of last night’s game against Monza, underwent diagnostic tests this morning at J|Medical, which revealed a low-grade hamstring injury,” reads the official note. ............ Therefore, Kelly will remain out of action for ten days at the very least. So he will miss next weekend’s clash against Bologna, and he’s unlikely to fully recover for the Lazio contest. With Federico Gatti yet to return to action and Gleison Bremer out with ACL injury since October, Tudor has been left with only two centre-backs at his disposal (Kalulu and Veiga), so he will have to improvise a new solution if he intends to keep his 3-4-2-1 system. .

Tudor equalizes Sarri’s record, Veiga opens account – The key stats from Juventus vs Monza On Sunday, Juventus returned to winning ways at the expense of the doomed Monza. Despite going down to 10 men following Kenan Yildiz’s dismissal at the end of the first half, the Bianconeri were able to maintain their two-goal lead. ............ We begin with Nico Gonzalez who opened the scoring with a sensational long-range effort. As the source explains, the Argentine took his tally to 27 goals in Serie A, but this is only his second strike from the outside of the box. ............ Renato Veiga provided the assist for Gonzalez. The Portuguese has now opened his assist account in Europe’s Top Five leagues on his 29th appearance between the Premier League and Serie A. ............ Khephren Thuram created his compatriot’s goal with a surging run followed by a clever pass. The French midfielder has now set a new career best, as he took his season tally to five assists. ............ Finally, Igor Tudor has become the first Juventus coach to win his first three home fixtures since Maurizio Sarri in 2019. However, the Croatian is still searching for his first victory on the road, having settled for a draw against Roma and suffered a defeat in Parma. .

How will Juventus replace Yildiz? Tudor reflecting on three options Juventus teenager Kenan Yildiz gave Igor Tudor a major headache ahead of two season-defining contests against Bologna and Lazio. ............ But while the teenager’s foolishness didn’t cause much harm against rock-bottom Monza, it could cost them dearly in the coming weeks. As explained earlier this morning, Yildiz’s act constitutes a violent conduct, so he’ll be slapped with a two-match ban at the very least, thus ruling him out of the upcoming contests against Bologna and Lazio, who happen to be Juve’s direct competitors in the race for the all-important 4th place. Therefore, Tudor will have to improvise a new solution to make up for the youngster’s absence. ............ Randal Kolo Muani and Nicolas Gonzalez are expected to maintain their places in the attacking trident, but it remains to be seen who will play as the other attacking midfielder in the 3-4-2-1 formation. Francisco Conceicao could be a natural solution to replace Yildiz, but the young Portuguese hasn’t entirely convinced Tudor who has been keeping him on the bench since his arrival. The Croatian manager would certainly prefer to field Teun Koopmeiners, but it remains to be seen if the latter will be fit enough to start after missing the last two contests due to an Achilles tendon problem. ............ .

Yildiz sends social message to Juventus fans after silly red card Juventus talent Kenan Yildiz once again apologised to Juventus fans, this time on social media, after receiving a red card against Monza: ‘It was a gesture that went beyond my real intentions.’ The Turkish talent risks a two-game ban after receiving a straight red card in a Serie A match against Monza on Sunday. ............ Yildiz had already apologised to Juventus fans on the pitch on Sunday, but he sent a new message to Bianconeri supporters via Instagram on Monday afternoon. If the Sports Judge confirms a two-match ban for the 19-year-old, Juventus will be forced to cope without him in key away matches against Bologna and Lazio, two of their main rivals for a top-four finish. ............ .

Nico Gonzalez explains why Juventus ‘needed Tudor’ relishes Bologna clash Juventus attacker Nicolas Gonzalez reveals how Igor Tudor brought a certain energy to the group which was sorely missing. ............ The Croatian certainly appreciates Nico’s hard-working ethics, and he’s been fielding him in various roles, whether as a wingback or an attacking midfielder. In Sunday’s contest against Monza, Gonzalez was playing in a more advanced position, so he took the opportunity to cut to the middle and send an unstoppable long-range screamer to the bottom corner, leaving no chance for Stefano Turati. ............ “We put on a good display. The game became like this in the second half. We had to do more, fight, struggle, let’s continue like this because there are four games left that are fundamental for us,” said Gonzalez in his post-match press conference. “The coach always wants us to use our heads. Every day. He never gives up. For me, he’s doing great things for the group, he is excellent, because we need that energy and positivity.” ............ “We spoke with Kenan, especially during the break. He apologised to the group. I also experienced a red card some time ago. It’s tough when you’re young, but you learn from it. “He’s a good guy, you can see, he didn’t do it on purpose, now he has to work hard and stay calm, and prove his worth on the pitch.” ............ “Yes, I know Italiano well, he’s ready to face Juventus. I know him. It will be a beautiful match to watch, they play good football. “Whoever wants it more will win. Let’s see if we return to Turin with three points in the bag.” .

What changes in Kolo Muani’s future after ending his Juventus goal drought Randal Kolo Muani has finally reconciled with the net as he scored the second goal for Juventus in their 2-0 win over Monza. ............ The 26-year-old squandered a few opportunities at the start of the contest, but when Khephren Thuram put him through on goal, he wasn’t going to let this opportunity slip by. The striker found the bottom corner with a clever touch that illustrated his clinical finishing. This goal gave the Old Lady a 2-0 lead, and the team was able to preserve it despite Kenan Yildiz’s foolish dismissal. As for Kolo Muani, this marks his first goal since his early exploits upon his arrival, when he scored five times in his first three outings for Juventus. ............ The situation drastically changed with Igor Tudor in charge. The Croatian immediately restored Dusan Vlahovic as a regular starter, while dropping Kolo Muani from the lineup, suggesting the latter has no place at Continassa anymore. But the future has yet to be written for Kolo Muani, who might dwell at Juventus after all, especially following Sunday’s encouraging outing. Albeit it was only Monza, the French striker proved he can be useful for the club with his agility and movement, as well as his killer instinct inside the box. ............ Juve have delayed all plans on this front until the end of the Serie A campaign, as their market strategy will largely depend on Champions League qualification. .

Tudor: ‘Juventus battle, the way I like it, but Yildiz a rare talent’ Juventus manager Igor Tudor refused to throw Kenan Yildiz under the bus following the latter’s howler against Monza. ............ But just before halftime, Yildiz foolishly got himself sent off for elbowing Alessandro Bianco in an off-the-ball incident. While the match official didn’t notice the episode, he was summoned for an on-field review by the VAR, and this could have only resulted in one outcome. Juve’s lead remained intact despite their numerical disadvantage, and the Croatian enjoyed the determination he saw in his player in the second half. “We had a very good first half, could’ve had another goal with two good chances, then that incident changed the game,” said the Juventus manager in his post-match interview. ............ “The second half was a battle, a match we had to grab with our fingernails. It’s how I like it, with suffering and hard work, we also had a chance with Nico for 3-0.” ............ “Kenan is world class, only those with real talent can play in those roles and they are rare. We will try to find something, we cannot wait for these games, as they are head-to-head clashes, an opportunity to prove who we are. “That is how we should go into these matches. We will find 11 strong players to start, that’s the important thing.” ............ “Every match is difficult, Parma were unbeaten in five, so it might be even tougher than facing Inter right now. “Timing means a lot in the fixture list, but you also need the team to grow in every respect.” .

Yildiz apologises to Juventus fans after red card Kenan Yildiz apologised to Juventus fans while leaving the pitch on Sunday after receiving a straight red card in a home game against Monza. The Turkish talent elbowed Monza midfielder Alessandro Bianco, prompting the referee to a pitchside review, which resulted in a straight red card for the 19-year-old. Juventus were already 2-0 up, but the striker’s red card will surely force him out of action in the next game against Bologna, even if the sports judge may extend the ban to two games for violent conduct. ............ .

Juventus 2 - Monza 0: Initial reaction and random observations Just as first-half stoppage time arrived Sunday evening at the Allianz Stadium, you were probably feeling good about how things were going for Juventus. They were up 2-0 against Monza, looked in relative control with the team they were facing being one of the lowest-scoring sides in Serie A and looking pretty impotent over the course of the first half. ............ A happy kind of feeling as Juventus walked to the tunnel at halftime because of said 2-0 lead? Nope, not one bit. That is because of Kenan Yildiz’s moment of just complete madness when things looked like Juve were just going to head off on one more counterattack before halftime. The 19-year-old Yildiz, a week shy of his 20th birthday, was shown a completely deserved straight red for a deliberate elbow to the face of Alessandro Bianco right before the first half came to a close of the X-X win over Monza. It means that Yildiz will certainly miss next weekend’s showdown with Bologna on his birthday, and could very well receive a two-match ban that would keep him out of the visit to Rome to face Lazio. ............ Because this season has seen plenty go wrong — and a lot of that is simply down to the fact that Juventus continue to be their own worst enemy. They can’t help but shoot themselves in the foot time and time again. Doesn’t matter if it’s drawing over and over again against mid- or lower-table clubs they should be beating or now seeing their No. 10 and most in-form attacking player essentially self-sabotage his chances of playing in one of the biggest and most important games remaining this season. Yildiz knew what he was doing, looked at Bianco right before he did it ... and went through with it. That’s the sign of a young man who has previously shown to be much more mature than what his birth certificate says simply losing his head not thinking of the ramifications about what may come due to his actions. Juventus, with their 2-0 lead, somewhat understandably just set up shop. down a man to try and ensure that they got the three vital points that would send them back up into the top four on a temporary basis ahead of Bologna’s matchup against Udinese on Monday night. I guess that’s a “luxury” you can take when facing a Monza side that struggles to score with any sort of consistency and is basically on the cusp of being relegated to Serie B. But man, that second half was tough. Really, really tough. ............ The blessing in all of this is that Monza are just pretty terrible in attack (and in general). They finished with 83% possession in the second half yet only recorded two of their nine shots on goal. Michele Di Gregorio had to make two saves despite seeing Juventus going ultra-defensive and basically daring his former club to score against his current one. Of course, it never would have been necessary if Yildiz didn’t get sent off. And, of course, a positive response to what happened midweek against Parma with what Juve did in the first half was then totally forgotten by how everything with the young Turk went down right before halftime arrived. ............ RANDOM THOUGHTS AND OBSERVATIONS Kenan, what were you thinking? Just explain it to me because I don’t get it. It’s 2-0. Your team is in complete control and on their way to three pretty easy and incredibly important points with what is at stake. You’ve got a top-four showdown next up on the schedule. Just think for a second rather having any sort of retaliation on your mind. So now, instead of having the chance to ball out and help Juventus win on your 20th birthday, Yildiz will be back in Turin watching from home. Just totally unnecessary. ............ Lost in all of this was the fact that Juventus scored two pretty nice goals courtesy of Nico Gonzalez and Randal Kolo Muani, putting to end two very length goal droughts for two very important players going forward here. Do you remember the last time Nico scored a goal? I’ll give you a couple of seconds. It was the last time Juventus played Monza ... right before Christmas. That’s four months. ............ As good as the individual effort was from Gonzalez on the opener, the counterattack from Juventus for Kolo Muani’s first goal since his brace on Feb. 7 was pretty dang nice, too. There are a lot of things that have gone wrong with Juve’s summer mercato, but the sight of Khephren Thuram striding forward through the midfield and into the attacking third is becoming one of my most favorite things these days. The assist and the finish from Kolo Muani just capped off a quick and very good counterattack. ............ Seeing the attacking momentum go from basically all Juventus before the half and then all Monza after the half is somewhat amusing. Again, I’m just glad that Monza are somewhat allergic to scoring goals or else this second half probably would have gone differently. But hey, at least the way the second half went allowed somebody like Renato Veiga to absolutely rack up the defensive actions right and left. Dude had 11 clearances! ............ Monza completing 557 passes is not something I thought would happen on this day. Monza passes completed in the second half: 305 Juventus passes completed in the second half: 65 ............ So the three-game stretch against teams that are just above or, in Monza’s case, very much in the relegation zone ends with Juventus getting six out of a possible nine points. That’s not exactly nice because it should have been nine out of nine, but maybe this season has conditioned us to expect even worse. Just glad that Juve beat Monza. Not so glad that Yildiz got sent off with a very deserved straight red. The good just comes with the bad this season and there’s nothing we can do about it.

Nicolas Gonzalez – 7.5 Gonzalez was industrious and was rewarded with a goal, having contested the most duels by a Juventus player.

Serie A | Juventus 2-0 Monza: Victory despite Yildiz moment of madness Juventus got back on track with Nico Gonzalez and Randal Kolo Muani goals, but played the entire second half against Monza down to 10 men after Kenan Yildiz saw red for violent conduct. ............ Kolo Muani’s acrobatic volley stung Stefano Turati’s gloves at the back post, while Samuele Birindelli failed to make the most of a promising counter-attack. The deadlock was broken when Nico Gonzalez gathered down the right in midfield, cut inside and hit a low drive into the far bottom corner with his left boot from a long way outside the penalty area. ............ Manuel Locatelli started the move by winning it back in midfield, Khephren Thuram surged forward and spread it down the left for Kolo Muani to sweep into the far bottom corner with the inside of the right boot. However, the game changed in first half stoppages when Kenan Yildiz was caught on camera looking at Alessandro Bianco before raising the elbow to his face in an off the ball incident. He did not even protest when shown the red card following a VAR On-Field Review, leaving Juventus down to 10 men. ............ Renato Veiga used his face to charge down a Gianluca Caprari screamer, as Monza put together a series of crosses without much final product. .
