Juventus team news: Woltemade suffers flu as Zhegrova ready to step in

Juventus team news: Woltemade suffers flu as Zhegrova ready to step in Juventus could be without Nick Woltemade for tonight’s trip to Fiorentina after the striker came down with flu, opening the door for Edon Zhegrova to make his first Serie A start. According to TuttoMercatoWeb , the German is a serious doubt for the game at the Artemio Franchi, which kicks off at 20:45 CET [19:45 GMT]. It’s another fitness blow for Luciano Spalletti, who is already without Kenan Yıldız, Khéphren Thuram and Manuel Locatelli. If Woltemade misses out, Zhegrova is expected to come into the attack. The Kosovo international joined from Lille 18 months ago but has yet to start a league game for the Bianconeri.
