Porto-Juve, probable formations and last: Dybala and Ramsey in the group

Paulo Dybala moves happily in the middle of the Continassa lawn. It is just the classic steer at the beginning of the warm-up, but for a boy in love with the ball who has been a month away from the object of his desire it is already a small achievement. The Argentine trained today in a group with Ramsey at the morning goal prior to Porto: in the afternoon he leaves for Portugal, where Juve will play the first leg of the Champions League round of 16 tomorrow night.

JEWEL DOUBT

–

Dybala wants to be there, so there is room for him on the squad, “but he’s not ready to play,” Pirlo said after training. Ramsey, who has been unemployed for less time, will also be with the group in Portugal, he is fully available. The news of the last hour is that Bonucci will not be there: he did not play for Napoli due to fatigue, he seemed ready to return the defensive means to their place regularly. Instead, a last-minute relapse in today’s training stops him – he’s heading towards the pair between Chiellini and De Ligt. Once again, therefore, he will stay to watch, although not as in 2017 from a stool in the stands (arrested after a flagrant dispute with Allegri).

RELAY MORATA

–

Pirlo will have everyone available except Arthur and Cuadrado, two big absences. The Colombian will be replaced on the right wing by Danilo, with Alex Sandro on the left, instead of the Brazilian in the center of the field will be Rabiot along with Bentancur. Practically safe starting shirt also for Chiesa and McKennie, while in attack in addition to certainty Ronaldo (the only Juventus player who has scored in elimination matches in the last two seasons) Morata (favorite) and Kulusevski play. The Spaniard is still short of goals in 2021 and the Cup is his favorite competition (6 goals): it may be the right night to relaunch.

ARMED TRANSFER

–

It will be a private trip, conditioned by the health emergency in Portugal: Juve has also resigned from the on-site press conference (as is often the case in the Champions League), they will do so from Turin. You will arrive in Porto at night and will be heavily armored at the hotel – the classic finish has also been abolished on race day.
