Goalkeeper Mattia Perrin and winger Dejan Kulusevski are set to be included in Juventus’s starting eleven for this evening’s Supercoppa Italiana clash with Inter.

This according to today’s print edition of Milan-based newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport, who report that the Bianconeri duo will be in the starting eleven at the San Siro.

Regular Juventus goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny only recently received his first dose of the COVID vaccine and so should only be on the bench, while his deputy will start in goal.

Meanwhile, Kulusevski looks set to be preferred by Bianconeri coach Max Allegri over Paulo Dybala to start alongside Alvaro Morata in attack with Federico Bernardeschi.

Defenders Leonardo Bonucci and Danilo are fit enough to be in the Bianconeri’s squad for this evening’s match after recovering from injuries, but neither are likely to be fit enough to play a full ninety minutes and both are set to start on the bench.
