The match against Sassuolo kicked off at 19.45 UK time at the Mapei Stadium in Reggio Emilia. Juventus are missing numerous first-choice players, including captain Manuel Locatelli, who has been ruled out for four to six months due to meniscus surgery.
The Bianconeri's starting lineup features a diverse group of international players, with no Italians in the outfield positions. Goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario is the lone Italian representative in the team. The line-up includes players from France, Brazil, Colombia, Turkiye, the Netherlands, Portugal, Argentina, and Bosnia and Herzegovina.
This historic moment marks a significant change in Juventus' squad composition, with the team relying heavily on international players to fill the gaps left by injured and absent players.
