Key points

  • Locatelli out until 2027 after meniscus surgery; Juventus dealing with nine injured players
  • Bremer named captain in his absence; McKennie likely vice-captain if fit
  • Yildiz also unavailable; Spalletti faces leadership challenge during injury crisis

AI summary

Manuel Locatelli's meniscus injury will keep Juventus without their captain for several months, forcing Luciano Spalletti to reorganise the leadership structure. Gleison Bremer, a five-year fixture at the club and recognised leader in the dressing room, takes the armband, with Weston McKennie in line as vice-captain—though the American's fitness for the Sassuolo match remains uncertain. Yildiz, another former vice-captain, is also unavailable.
