    Recovering from a muscle injury aggravated during the CL match against Lyon in August.

    He's on the bench today though.

    Any sense of what the rank order will be between he and Morata? Dybala was awfully fun to watch last year.

    Andres Guardado and Juan Cuadrado (Colombia) are different people.

    It will be interesting to see how this formation plays out. The graphic above presents it as being similar to last week's, but I'm assuming Kulusevski is not going to play that wide role on the right the same way Cuadrado did last week, which was essentially as a wingback.

    Pirlo has been quite unpredictable so far in these 2 games, so it will be difficult to say for certain. I would imagine that Dybala would be the first choice "9" but Morata brings something very different from Dybi.

    Forza Weston
    fino alla fine, forza Juventus!

    It's a shame there's still no fans at these games.

    there are 1000 fans allowed into stadiums in Italy now, they’ll be on the side of the cameras so you won’t see them. Italy has discussed allowing up to 25% capacity around the middle of October or so.

    A major upgrade going from Cherundolo to Stuart Robson for a Yanks Abroad match. Actual tactical breakdown and knowledge of the players. He's such an excellent announcer.

    I like the knee. Makes me proud to follow this sport. I’ll say no more if others don’t.

    Was it not taking a knee, or choosing instead a moment of silence for a Serie C referree and his girlfriend murdered in their home earlier this week?

    It's these situations where I'm trying to watch McKennie most closely--receiving the ball facing his own goal in the defensive half. Can he consistently play quickly out of those situations and not get caught on the ball? And can he sense when he can turn and make a progressive pass, not settling for the square/backward option?
