Sevilla chance for Rugani?

By Football Italia staff

Daniele Rugani could make his first Juventus start tonight, away to Sevilla in the Champions League.

Bianconeri Coach Massimiliano Allegri admitted yesterday he had not decided whether or not to start the youngster, who has made just one cameo appearance since moving from Empoli.

According to SportMediaset, the Old Lady will deploy a 3-5-2 shape at Sanchez Pizjuan tonight, and Rugani could replace one of Andrea Barzagli, Leonardo Bonucci or Giorgio Chiellini.

Alex Sandro and Stephan Lichtsteiner will occupy the flanks, with Paul Pogba expected to return in midfield after missing the Lazio match through suspension.

The absence of Mario Mandzukic is likely to see Alvaro Morata return up-front, with in-form Paulo Dybala expected to start alongside him.

Juventus will secure first place in the group if they avoid defeat, or if Manchester City lose to Borussia Monchengladbach.

Probable Juventus team to face Sevilla: Buffon; Barzagli, Rugani, Chiellini; Lichtsteiner, Sturaro, Marchisio, Pogba, Alex Sandro; Morata, Dybala
