Will Lucca play in Udinese? And will Thuram make it back for Napoli-Inter? All this and more in the probable lineups for the 27th day of Serie A
Le probabili formazioni della 27ma giornata: gioca Padelli, Kean non ce la fa. E Thuram? – serieanews.com
The 27th day of Serie A is upon us, and with it come crucial challenges for the top and bottom of the standings. Napoli, battling for the top of the standings with Inter, is preparing for a crucial challenge against the Nerazzurri, who, despite some absence, will take the field with their usual fighting spirit.
Lazio, engaged against AC Milan, is aiming to maintain its position among the top of the class and still dream of a Champions League spot, while other teams, such as Lecce and Verona, will try to redeem themselves after some mixed performances.
Among the day’s main themes are returns from injury and the most intriguing challenges for the top positions. Fiorentina, having lost Kean, prepares for a delicate challenge against Lecce, with Gosens’ recovery likely to prove a strength. Napoli, for its part, loses Anguissa to injury, but finds Spinazzola again and prepares to play a crucial game for the Scudetto path.
Meanwhile, Torino seems intent on confirming the set-up that has paid off, while Monza, having recovered Izzo, aims to give continuity to its results. Genoa will have to cope with the heavy absences of Vitinha and Badelj, while Empoli remains waiting for updates on the recoveries of some key players after the beautiful success in the Coppa Italia against Juventus.
Here are the probable lineups for Day 27, with many ballots that could decide the fate of these crucial matches.

Udinese will have to deal with absences in defense, but the Thauvin-Lucca duo in attack is ready to make a difference despite last week’s glaring penalty case. Parma, without Bernabé, will likely see Man return as a starter after injury, but the midfield ballot with Estevez remains open.

Milan, which is licking its wounds after the Turin knockout, will have to deal with the intensity of Lazio, which recovers Rovella but loses Dele-Bashiru. Conceiçao could insist on the Fab Four, but he could also decide to stay more covered with a 4-3-3, and there the sacrifice would be Rafa Leao, in the odor of transferring in the summer along with other senators.
PROBABLE FORMATIONS JUVENTUS-VERONA
