Max Allegri is making the final preparations ahead of their Europa League semi-final first leg match against Sevilla.
The Italian team’s manager is under pressure as he contends with key injuries and unprepared players, although he has named a strong lineup.
The absence of defensive player Gleison Bremer and the unpreparedness of Paul Pogba has caused complications for Allegri.
Despite the setback, the attacking trio of Federico Chiesa, Dusan Vlahovic, and Angel di Maria is expected to shine.

In lieu of Bremer, Allegri has opted for the experienced Leonardo Bonucci, who will play alongside the up-and-coming Federico Gatti in the central defensive position.
The preferred wing-back lineup in front of goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny is set to include Juan Cuadrado and Danilo, with the latter playing on the left.
Mattia De Sciglio’s injury renders him unavailable for the match against Sevilla, reducing Allegri’s alternatives. The manager, however, has settled on Alex Sandro acting as a utility man in De Sciglio’s absence.
Allegri has opted for Nicolo Fagioli, with Manuel Locatelli and Adrien Rabiot being confirmed to start from the beginning.
Juventus predicted XI: Szczesny; Cuadrado, Gatti, Bonucci, Danilo; Fagioli, Locatelli, Rabiot; Di Maria, Vlahovic, Chiesa.
