Sun Feb 02 10:50:00 UTC 2025: ## Juventus Aim for Revival Against Empoli Amidst Injury Crisis

**Turin, Italy** – Under immense pressure following a string of disappointing results, Juventus host Empoli at the Allianz Juventus Stadium today (11:30 GMT) in a crucial Serie A clash. Anything less than a victory would be a significant setback for the struggling Bianconeri, who are now level on points with Bologna after a 2-1 loss to Napoli and a 2-0 defeat to Benfica in the Champions League.

Manager Thiago Motta faces a mounting injury crisis, with Pierre Kalulu sidelined for a month and Andrea Cambiaso, Arkadiusz Milik, Gleison Bremer, and Juan Cuadrado also injured. However, Juventus will look to new signings Randal Kolo Muani, who scored on his debut against Napoli, and Renato Veiga, a loanee from Chelsea, to spark a revival. Veiga is set for a starting debut alongside Kolo Muani, who will push Dusan Vlahovic to the bench.

Empoli, who have only two points from their last seven Serie A matches, also arrive with their own injury concerns. Alberto Grassi and Giuseppe Pezzella are suspended, while Nicolas Haas, Ola Solbakken, Tyronne Ebuehi, Saba Sazonov, and Pietro Pellegri are all injured. Defender Mattia Viti is also a doubt, leaving Lorenzo Colombo to lead the attack. The match also marks a return to the Juventus Stadium for former Bianconero Mattia De Sciglio. Interestingly, the two teams will meet again in the Coppa Italia quarter-final on February 26th.
