The Bianconeri must cope without the injured Yildiz and McKennie, but Kehphren Thuram is also not fully fit and might not be included in the squad for this evening’s match. Lloyd Kelly remains favourite over new signing Jhon Lucumì for a starting spot at left-back, with Zeki Celik and Andrea Cambiaso competing for the same position. Sky Sport and Gazzetta claim that Canada international David is expected to start as an attacking midfielder behind Kolo Muani, with Kerim Alajbegović playing on the left wing.
Parma are expected to adopt a 4-3-3 system despite a 1-0 home loss to Cagliari in the opening round. Their only unavailable player is Hans Nicolussi Caviglia, a product of the Juventus academy. Sascha Britschgi returns to action after a one-game ban and is likely to play as an attacking winger with El Bilal Touré deployed as a sole striker. The match will be broadcast live on DAZN in the UK and Ireland and on Paramount+ in the USA.
