Official Juventus squad vs Bologna: Yildiz included, five injuredAhead of Sunday’s clash against Bologna, Juventus have released the official matchday squad, with Kenan Yildiz receiving a call-up.The contest will take place at the Allianz Arena in Turin. The kickoff is set at 20:45 CET.Following Como’s defeat in Udine on Friday, and the 1-1 draw between Roma and Atalanta on Saturday, the Bianconeri have a golden opportunity to consolidate their Top-four status and open a five-point gap with their closest chasers, not to mention reducing the deficit with Milan and Napoli.Nevertheless, Luciano Spalletti’s men will have to overcome their Emilian visitors, who, despite their Europa League humbling at the hands of Aston Villa, have been enjoying a solid run in Serie A recently.Spalletti called up 21 players for Sunday’s contest, including Yildiz, who has been dealing with a knee inflammation in recent weeks.The same goes for Khephren Thuram and Lloyd Kelly, who also trained partially throughout the week.
