Juventus duo ruled out of Lazio clash as Allegri picks replacement from NextGen squad

Arkadiusz Milik and Carlos Alcaraz won’t be available against Lazio, so Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri is expected to promote NextGen winger Nikola Sekulov to boost his attacking options at the Stadio Olimpico on Saturday.

Juventus prepare to meet Igor Tudor’s Lazio at the Stadio Olimpico on Saturday, but Allegri will be short of attacking options with Dusan Vlahovic suspended and Milik injured.

Football Italia understands the Poland international hasn’t recovered from an adductor injury and won’t be available in Rome and the same is true of Alcaraz.

Therefore, Allegri is expected to include 22-year-old midfielder Sekulov in the team travelling to the capital tomorrow.

Who is Juventus midfielder Sekulov?

Sekulov is an attacking winger who returned from a loan spell at Cremonese in the January transfer window.

The former U20 Italy international has four goals and two assists in 12 Serie C appearances with Juventus’ NextGen. He has been with the Bianconeri since 2019 but hasn’t yet made his senior debut with the Old Lady.
