How Juventus could line up against Napoli

:Headline: How Juventus could line up against Napoli:
Sports Mole takes an in-depth look at how Juventus could line up for Wednesday's Serie A clash with Napoli.
Sports Mole

Ahead of their crucial clash with southern rivals Napoli on Wednesday, troubled Juventus have most squad members fully fit, but remain under the shadow of COVID-19.

Both central defensive stalwart Leonardo Bonucci and his younger deputy, Turkey's Merih Demiral, tested positive for the virus during the international period and will continue to be unavailable for Andrea Pirlo's side until they can return negative tests and rejoin training.

Therefore, Matthijs de Ligt and Giorgio Chiellini are set to continue at the heart of the Juve's back four this week, with the ever-versatile Danilo another option should Pirlo opt for his occasional flexible back three.

The former Manchester City man started in midfield in Saturday's Derby della Mole against Torino, but either Aaron Ramsey or the recalled Weston McKennie could instead be preferred to partner Rodrigo Bentancur in the centre against Napoli.

McKennie, fit-again Paulo Dybala and Brazilian midfielder Arthur were fined and dropped from the squad for the Derby, after attending a party at the American's home during the break, but have been brought back into the squad this week and could feature.

If Ramsey and McKennie both start, Dejan Kulusevski could return to the Juventus bench, with Italy winger Federico Bernardeschi also pushing for a place on the flank; in-form Federico Chiesa is assured of a place on the opposite side.

Despite Dybala's return - and speculation that the Bianconeri have decided not to extend his loan deal for a further year - Spain striker Alvaro Morata should join Capocannoniere chart-leading Cristiano Ronaldo up front.

Juventus possible starting lineup:
Szczesny; Cuadrado, De Ligt, Chiellini, Sandro; McKennie, Rabiot, Bentancur, Chiesa; Ronaldo, Morata
