Official: Six Juventus players out as Motta names squad for Turin derby

Jonas Rouhi has been ruled out of Juventus-Torino, joining five other Bianconeri players on the treatment table.

Juventus coach Thiago Motta has named his 19-man squad list for today’s derby della Mole at the Allianz Stadium.

The Serie A giants haven’t lost against their city rivals since 2015, so they have been unbeaten in 35 of the last 36 meetings with the Granata.

Motta already announced on Friday that Douglas Luiz and Vasilije Adžić would not be available for the Torino game, just like Arkadiusz Milik, Nico Gonzalez and Gleison Bremer.

However, Rouhi is not on his squad list, which means the promising Swedish defender will also be unavailable this evening.

Motta is expected to pick Timothy Weah for the right winger role, leaving Francisco Conceiçao initially on the bench.

Mattia Perin will likely start between the sticks, while Nicolò Savona, who has just received his first Italy call-up, will start as a right-back.
