Fiorentina could be without key striker Moise Kean for a crucial Serie A clash against Cremonese on Monday evening.

The Viola are preparing for a high-stakes relegation battle at the Stadio Zini, pitting the third-bottom side against the team just above them. A victory would allow Fiorentina to open a four-point cushion above the drop zone, making the fixture potentially decisive for the closing stretch of their turbulent season.

The Tuscan side approach the match after their comeback victory over Rakow Czestochowa in the first leg of the Champions League round of 16, but domestic concerns now take priority as they look to secure vital league points.

Fiorentina hoping for Kean return in Cremonese clash

Head coach Paolo Vanoli is hoping to welcome Kean back into the squad, although the striker’s availability remains uncertain. The former Juventus forward has not played since March 2, when he was forced off in the 71st minute during Fiorentina’s defeat to Udinese.

Since then, Kean has missed the following Serie A match against Parma Calcio 1913 as well as the European fixture with Rakow due to a tibia issue.

Reports from Goal indicate the striker has still not returned to full group training and has continued to work individually in recent days. Fiorentina’s medical staff will monitor his progress closely over the coming days in the hope he can recover in time for the trip to Cremona.

Given the importance of the match, there is also the possibility Kean could be included even if he is not at full fitness, though a final decision will likely come closer to kick-off.

Roberto D’Aversa confirmed Che Adams will start tonight’s Serie A clash with Parma, explaining that the Scottish forward’s technical qualities make him the ideal choice against a side renowned for their defensive organisation.

“Parma concede very little, against a team that defends so well, we need to exploit Adams’ technical qualities,” D’Aversa told Sky Sport, via TuttoMercatoWeb, ahead of the 20:45 (local time) kick-off at the Olimpico Grande Torino.

In a colourful pre-match address, D’Aversa drew an unlikely but compelling parallel between his side’s required mentality and that of Italian tennis sensation Jannik Sinner.

“Sinner is an example of mental strength and hard work,” he said.

“Tonight we must also take to the pitch with the will to get a result, but also to be patient and stay lucid for 95 minutes.”

Torino vs Parma – D’Aversa identifies Pellegrino threat

It is the kind of motivational thinking that has characterised D’Aversa’s management style since taking charge, and his players have responded well, losing just once so far.

When asked about the threat posed by Parma striker Mateo Pellegrino, one of the most dangerous aerial threats in the division from set-pieces, D’Aversa acknowledged that corners represent Torino’s most vulnerable area.

“In terms of goals conceded from dead balls overall, we are around the average,” he said. “But the data on corners is more concerning. In every match we work on the details to limit the qualities of our opponents.”

With safety still not mathematically secured, every point matters, and D’Aversa will be hoping Adams and the Sinner mentality deliver the goods on Friday night.

Torino host Parma at the Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino this evening, as both sides look for valuable point in their race to guarantee Serie A survival.

Torino head into the game with one win and one defeat so far under Roberto D’Aversa, with an impressive 2-0 win over Lazio followed last weekend by a 2-1 defeat to champions Napoli.

The Turin side sit in 15th place, six points above 18th placed Cremonese, who have been in diabolical form as of late and slipped into the relegation zone following Fiorentina’s upturn in form.

Parma, meanwhile, are in a really good spot of form under Carlos Cuesta, who has earned plaudits for recent results that sees the Gialloblu five games unbeaten – including impressive wins against division heavyweights Milan and Bologna.

As a result, Cuesta’s side have climbed the table and sit in 12th place – yet just four points above tonight’s opposition – making it a really vital game to not lose for the visitors.

Cesc Fabregas held his pre-match press conference ahead of Sunday’s crucial Serie A clash with Roma, and the Como head coach was in characteristically thoughtful and candid mood, touching on tactical philosophy, squad selection and the remarkable position his side find themselves in with ten games remaining.

Como head into the weekend sitting fourth in Serie A, and the significance of that is not lost on anyone, except, apparently, Fabregas himself.

When asked whether he thinks about his side’s Champions League position, his response was characteristically grounded, with quotes via TuttoMercatoWeb.

“If we get there, great, if we don’t, we continue to build. I would get angry if my players talked about Champions League right now. Not because of the subject itself, but because it’s not the moment. If it doesn’t happen, what are we, failures?”

Fabregas: ‘Roma improved more than anyone in January’

On Roma, Fabregas was respectful but confident.

“They had an extraordinary transfer window, they have raised their level more than anyone. We need the perfect game,” he said.

“Like when we won at Napoli or against Juventus. We must play our way, and then the pitch will speak.”

He dismissed the suggestion that the match was a must-win, describing it simply as “one more important game” rather than a defining moment.

Tactically, Fabregas offered an interesting insight into how he views Nico Paz‘s development.

Asked about potentially deploying the Argentine in a deeper midfield role, the Como coach was firm.

“Not yet. He is a trequartista, instinctive. In a deep role you need a specific way of reading the game, of analysing situations. That is not Nico yet. He is not Perrone or Baturina.”

He was equally direct when asked about Sergi Roberto potentially replacing the injured Perrone, using an unexpected reference point to make his point.

“You think Guardiola’s Manchester City always build from the back? They don’t. Sometimes the opponent presses you, sometimes you don’t have a Busquets or a Piqué. When a coach doesn’t trust his first phase, you must work hard and build that trust instead.”

Perrone himself trained individually and is expected to rejoin the group on Saturday, with his availability for Sunday still to be confirmed.

Italian football’s hopes of securing a fifth Champions League place next season remain alive, just, but the path to achieving it is narrow and dependent on a sequence of results that is far from straightforward.

The basis for qualification is UEFA’s in-season coefficient ranking, which determines whether a fifth club from a given nation earns an additional Champions League spot, as noted by the Gazzetta dello Sport.

Italy currently sit fourth in that table, behind England, Spain and Germany, with Portugal close behind.

The encouraging news is that this week’s European results, despite Atalanta’s heavy defeat to Bayern Munich, actually allowed Italy to close the gap slightly on those above them and extend their lead over Portugal.

The updated standings make for slightly more optimistic reading than they did 24 hours ago.

Serie A clubs face uphill battle for 5th Champions League spot

The bad news, however, is more structural.

Of the four Serie A clubs still active in European competition, realistically only two are likely to progress to the next round.

Atalanta face a near-impossible task overturning a 6-1 deficit against Bayern, while the Bologna-Roma Europa League tie guarantees that one Italian club will be eliminated regardless of the result. Fiorentina’s Conference League progression looks the most straightforward following their 2-1 win over Rakow.

The real battle is with Spain, whose clubs, including Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid, are in strong positions across the Champions League and Europa League.

Germany’s picture is more complicated, offering Italy a slightly more realistic target to chase.

The true picture will become clear in seven days’ time, when the round of sixteen concludes. For now, the fifth spot remains a long shot, but not yet an impossibility.

Roberto Mancini has been forced to temporarily stand down as Al-Sadd head coach after being unable to return to Qatar due to the ongoing regional conflict that has resulted in a flight ban over the country.

The former Italy and Manchester City manager had been given permission to leave Qatar last week for a family medical matter, with his departure pre-arranged in coordination with the club’s management ahead of their AFC Champions League Elite first leg.

However, the deteriorating situation in the Gulf region has since grounded flights into the country, leaving Mancini stranded and unable to fulfil his coaching duties.

Al-Sadd confirm temporary Mancini change due to airspace restrictions

Al-Sadd confirmed the news in an official statement on social media, announcing that assistant coach Sergio Alegre will take charge of the team for tomorrow’s match against Umm Salal.

The club added that they are working to facilitate Mancini’s return at the earliest available opportunity.

The Italian has been in charge of Al-Sadd since November, having previously managed the Saudi Arabia national team following his controversial departure from the Italy job in 2023. The situation remains fluid and entirely dependent on developments in the wider regional conflict.

Vincenzo Italiano was in upbeat mood after Bologna held Roma to a 1-1 draw in the Europa League round of 16 first leg at the Renato Dall’Ara, insisting the tie remains very much alive and praising his side’s attitude throughout a performance that reminded him of their best football earlier in the season.

Federico Bernardeschi was the standout figure for the hosts, opening the scoring with a fine goal and causing Roma problems throughout. “He played a great match, you could see it from the very first minute when he made that burst down the right,” Italiano said, via TuttoMercatoWeb.

“He scored a beautiful goal and could have hurt them on other occasions too, but Svilar pulled off a miracle save.”

Bologna 1-1 Roma – Italiano: ‘We had more chances than them’

Lorenzo Pellegrini’s equaliser threatened to knock the wind from Bologna’s sails, but Italiano insisted his side remained composed and continued to create.

A Vitik effort that struck the crossbar was the closest they came to a second, and the Italian felt his team deserved more from the evening.

“We had more chances than them but were unlucky,” he said. “I was pleased with the attitude and application, I congratulated the players afterwards.”

On the tie’s prospects, Italiano was honest about the challenge awaiting at the Olimpico, though he refused to concede any ground. “I would say 51% Roma and 49% us, only because of the atmosphere they will have at home,” he said. “We wanted a more open result and a win would have given us a slight edge, but a draw is fine. We will go there and give everything.”

Italiano also took aim at the referee’s handling of N’Dicka, claiming the Roma defender consistently held and shirt-pulled Santiago Castro without punishment. “Had he been booked, Castro could have found more solutions for us,” he said pointedly.

His admiration for opposite number Gasperini, however, was genuine. “I respect him enormously for the identity he gives his teams,” he said. “It will be a pleasure to face him again.”

Gian Piero Gasperini insisted a 1-1 draw was a fair reflection of the contest after Roma were held by Bologna in the Europa League round of 16 first leg at the Renato Dall’Ara, leaving the tie perfectly poised ahead of next week’s return at the Olimpico.

It was a physical, demanding evening for the visitors, with Bologna’s intensity and the atmospheric backdrop of a packed Dall’Ara making life uncomfortable for a youthful Roma side.

Gasperini acknowledged as much after the final whistle, though he was broadly satisfied with what his team produced in difficult circumstances.

“It was a match where they put a lot into the physical side, a bit like at Genoa,” he said, with quotes via TuttoMercatoWeb.

“We adapted well, created dangerous situations in the first half, though we were slightly under them at times and the stadium played its part too.”

Federico Bernardeschi’s role caused Roma some problems, though Gasperini was reluctant to single it out as the defining factor.

“Bernardeschi always plays in that zone, he did excellent things and Bologna have strong players,” he said. “The result is probably fair because we also had plenty of dangerous chances.”

Roma coach Gasperini looks forward to second leg against Bologna

On Roma’s equaliser, Gasperini dismissed any suggestion of elaborate planning.

“It was not a set piece we had specifically worked on,” he said, before offering a broader observation about the nature of modern football.

“Second balls have become decisive, the pressing forces you to play long, and you end up playing this rugby-football. I think it is partly a seasonal thing, as temperatures change and games open up, you tend to see more technical football.”

With the second leg to come at the Olimpico, Gasperini is confident the dynamic will shift in Roma’s favour.

“At our stadium it will be decisive, and both teams can play a different game,” he said.

“The home crowd will not allow this kind of approach, we will need to build something more on the technical side.”

He was also quick to defend his players’ attitude, pushing back on any criticism. “The courage and desire were not lacking, we created four or five chances. There was a quality opponent in front of us and Roma’s performance was absolutely not negative.”

Bologna drew 1-1 with Roma this evening in their Europa League Round of 16 first leg, with goals in the second half from Federico Bernardeschi and Lorenzo Pellegrini.

Football Italia’s Man of the Match was Rossoblu goalscorer Bernardeschi, for his well-taken strike, chance creation and work tracking back defensively.

Bologna 1-1 Roma – Player Ratings

Bologna: Skorupski 6; Mario 6 (Zortea N/A), Casale 6 (Vitik N/A), Lucumi 7, Miranda 6.5 (Lykogiannis N/A); Ferguson 6.5, Freuler 6, Pobega 6.5; Bernardeschi 7.5, Castro 5.5 (Dallinga N/A), Rowe 7 (Cambiaghi 6)

Best Bologna player: Federico Bernardeschi – Was both a threat offensively, shown with his goal and plenty of chances created, and defensively, tracking back and working hard to support his defence. Showed a lot of leadership today.

Lowest Bologna rating: Santiago Castro – Never really found his groove, didn’t manage a single shot and was much less effective than his supporting forwards.

Coach: Vincenzo Italiano 7 – Can’t really be faulted in what was a very close game – and one where his Bologna side were probably the better of the two teams on the night. His substitutions added little, however.

Roma: Svilar 6.5; Celik 6 (Hermoso 6), N’Dicka 6.5, Ghilardi 7; Rensch 6.5 (Tsimikas 5.5), El Aynaoui 6 (Pellegrini 7.5), Pisilli 6, Wesley 6; Cristante 6.5; Malen 6.5, Zaragoza 6 (Vaz 6)

Best Roma player: Lorenzo Pellegrini – Came off the bench to score the equaliser, helping to secure a vital draw on the road in this first leg, putting the team in a good position for the second leg at the Stadio Olimpico.

Lowest Roma rating: Kostas Tsimikas – Unlike Pellegrini, Tsimikas came off the bench to once again disappoint. He has never really found momentum with the Roman side, and hardly had any involvement in his 35 minutes on the pitch.

Coach: Gian Piero Gasperini 6.5 – Made some good adjustments after Bologna scored and was rewarded with Pellegrini’s goal. However, Roma were arguably the worse of the two sides tonight and Gasperini will not be entirely pleased with his squad.

Riccardo Calafiori’s future at Arsenal is in doubt, with Chelsea reportedly monitoring the Italy international’s situation as the defender grows increasingly frustrated with his lack of regular first-team football at the Emirates.

The former Bologna man has found himself marginalised since returning from a muscle injury in late January, with Piero Hincapie having established himself as Mikel Arteta’s preferred left-sided centre-back.

Hincapie’s loan from Bayer Leverkusen is set to become permanent for around £40 million this summer, effectively pushing Calafiori further down the pecking order, and when Arteta has deployed the Italian, it has largely been at left-back rather than his preferred central defensive role.

Chelsea keen on Calafiori after limited Arsenal role

According to journalist Si Phillips, who specialises in Chelsea coverage, via TeamTalk, Liam Rosenior’s side are ready to move if any opportunity presents itself, describing the potential transfer as “not as impossible as you might expect.”

Calafiori, it is claimed, is eager for both regular football and a return to playing in his natural position.

Any deal would be far from straightforward. Arsenal paid €44 million to sign Calafiori from Bologna and would demand considerably more from a direct London rival, particularly given his age, his contract running until 2029, and his established Premier League pedigree.

For Italy fans, however, ensuring one of the Azzurri’s most promising defenders is playing regularly ahead of the World Cup will feel like the most pressing concern of all.

Milan are set to open contract talks with Francesco Camarda this summer, with the striker’s 18th birthday earlier this month unlocking the possibility of a long-term deal that could secure one of Italian football’s most coveted young talents for the foreseeable future.

The Rossoneri are keen to extend Camarda’s current deal, according to MilanNews24, which runs until 2028, into a five-year contract, a move that would send a clear message about his place in the club’s plans while fending off the foreign clubs that have taken a keen interest in his progress.

Camarda at Milan crossroads as young forward focuses on recovery

Whether he is ready to challenge for a place in Allegri’s first-team plans, however, remains another question entirely.

His loan spell at Lecce has been a sobering introduction to senior football, physically demanding and occasionally difficult, with just one goal in 17 appearances before a shoulder operation in January ended his season prematurely.

He is expected to return to fitness before the campaign ends.

The most likely outcome this summer is another loan, with Milan content to follow the blueprint successfully applied to Pio Esposito, gradual, pressure-free development in the Serie A environment before the inevitable step up to San Siro.

Roma were dealt a midfield blow ahead of tonight’s Europa League quarter-final first leg against Bologna, with Manu Koné ruled out of the squad entirely after failing to recover from a muscle strain.

The French midfielder will not even make the bench, instead watching from the stands as Gian Piero Gasperini’s side look to establish an advantage in what promises to be a fiercely contested all-Italian tie.

Bologna vs Roma – Kone misses out with muscle strain

He was initially named by UEFA as being on the bench but that quickly changed, and he will sit the match out completely.

Koné has been an important figure in Roma’s midfield this season, and his absence will require Gasperini to reshuffle his options in the centre of the park for a match that carries enormous weight in the Europa League.

You can follow all the action, as it happens, on our Live Blog.

The coach will be hoping the setback is minor enough to allow the midfielder to return swiftly, with the second leg to follow and a potentially lengthy European run still ahead.

Lazio have two training sessions remaining before Sunday’s clash with Milan, and Maurizio Sarri still has several fitness questions to resolve before finalising his squad.

The most significant concern is Alessio Romagnoli, who has been absent from training but is expected to undergo a fitness test on Friday afternoon, according to LaLazioSiamoNoi reports.

If he passes, he could return to the starting lineup for the weekend, but if he does not, Danish defender Provstgaard is already on standby to partner Gila at the heart of defence.

Toma Basic has made a small step forward, rejoining the group for the initial activation phase and the customary rondo exercise, though he sat out the final practice match. The next two sessions will be decisive in determining whether he is available. Should he not make it, Patric is expected to fill the regista role.

Lazio continue to struggle through injury woes

The Romagnoli and Basic situations are compounded by the confirmed absence of Danilo Cataldi, who has suffered a minor calf injury and is unlikely to return until after the international break.

Elsewhere, the picture is clearer. Nuno Tavares holds the advantage over Luca Pellegrini at left back, with Marusic certain to start on the right.

In goal, youngster Edoardo Motta will continue between the posts following Ivan Provedel’s shoulder surgery.

Dele-Bashiru is ahead of Belahyane for a spot alongside Taylor in midfield, who was also tried in a deeper role during Thursday’s session. Up front, Sarri is not expected to make any changes, with Isaksen, Maldini and Zaccagni set to continue as the attacking trio.

Roberto D’Aversa has described Friday’s home fixture against Parma as “a first match point to move closer to safety,” with the Torino head coach facing a wealth of selection decisions ahead of what he considers a pivotal Serie A clash.

The most eagerly awaited update concerned Che Adams, with D’Aversa confirming the Scottish forward is in contention to start despite not yet being able to last a full 90 minutes.

“By his characteristics he is very technical and could be vital in a game like tomorrow’s,” D’Aversa said, with quotes via TuttoMercatoWeb.

“He doesn’t have 90 minutes in his legs, but that doesn’t mean he won’t start, within a match there are multiple phases, and my choice doesn’t depend solely on his fitness levels.”

Torino coach D’Aversa provides Adams & Nkounkou updates

D’Aversa was equally upbeat about Nkounkou, who has trained normally despite a minor complaint, and offered an interesting tactical distinction between two of his wider options.

“Njie is an attacking wide player who works best on the opposite flank,” he noted, suggesting the two are not direct rivals for the same position.

Cesare Casadei was identified as a player with enormous potential who has yet to fully harness it on a consistent basis.

“When he realises the quality he has, he will need to find consistency in his weekly work,” D’Aversa said, acknowledging that the midfielder has also been hampered by physical problems.

One particularly touching moment came in the coach’s assessment of Faustino Anjorin, who lost his grandmother this week but chose to remain with the squad and train throughout.

“In the space of two weeks he has grown enormously, I am starting to see the Anjorin from last season at Empoli,” D’Aversa said warmly.

With only Aboukhlal ruled out through injury, Torino go into the match with a near-fully fit squad — and a coach who, for once, has too many options rather than too few.

Giampaolo Pazzini has hailed Massimiliano Allegri’s tactical preparation after Milan’s derby victory over Inter, while insisting the title race remains firmly in Inter’s hands despite the gap narrowing to seven points.

The former Milan striker, who spent three seasons at San Siro between 2012 and 2015, spoke to Aura Sport, via PianetaMilan, in the aftermath of a result that has breathed new life into a Serie A campaign that had appeared all but settled.

Allegri himself was characteristically measured in his post-match assessment, describing the win as simply “one fewer victory needed to secure Champions League qualification,” but supporters could be forgiven for dreaming of something greater.

Pazzini hails Allegri preparation in Milan derby victories

Pazzini was generous in his praise for both sides. On Inter’s defeat, he acknowledged that Cristian Chivu had struggled tactically, something the Inter coach himself admitted in his post-match press conference.

“Inter’s last defeat before this was also in the derby against Milan, after which they went on a run of 14 wins and one draw,” Pazzini noted. “There is no doubt Chivu got the game wrong.”

The sharper focus of his analysis, however, was reserved for Allegri.

“You have to give credit to Milan, Allegri prepares matches perfectly,” he said. “It is no surprise that he has won both derbies this season.”

On the title race, Pazzini was clear-eyed. With Inter no longer competing in the Champions League and therefore able to dedicate full focus to the league, clawing back a seven-point deficit over the final ten matches would require something truly unexpected.

“I think the Scudetto conversation is still closed,” he said plainly.

Alessandro Bastoni could leave Inter Milan this summer, with Barcelona making initial contact over a potential move for the Italy international, according to reports in Spain and Italy.

Sporting director Deco has already held preliminary discussions with Bastoni’s entourage to sound out the possibility of a deal, according to Sport, with La Gazzetta dello Sport reporting that Inter are prepared to listen to offers, albeit only at a price they deem appropriate.

The Nerazzurri have set a minimum valuation of €70 million for the 25-year-old, who is contracted at San Siro until June 2028.

Inter open to selling key players like Bastoni in the summer

The broader context is important.

Inter’s hierarchy are understood to believe that a cycle has run its course and that a significant squad overhaul is required this summer, and that mentality extends even to key figures previously considered untouchable.

Bastoni, one of the finest left-sided centre-backs in European football and a cornerstone of Inter’s strong teams in recent years, falls into that category.

Any Barcelona move is closely tied to next week’s presidential election at the Catalan club, with current president Joan Laporta standing for re-election. Deco is a Laporta loyalist, meaning the viability of this pursuit depends heavily on the election outcome.

Bastoni is said to have not been entirely cold to the initial approach, though he remains strongly attached to Inter and has not ruled out extending his stay. Should no offer arrive that truly tests Oaktree’s resolve, the club may instead look to open contract extension talks with one of their most important players.

Moise Kean’s future at Fiorentina looks increasingly uncertain, and Milan are firmly positioned to take advantage, with Rossoneri coach Massimiliano Allegri understood to be the driving force behind the club’s renewed interest in the Italian striker.

The Italian signed a new contract with Fiorentina last summer through to 2029, rejecting several approaches in a show of commitment to the Viola project.

Seven months on, that project has faltered considerably, and with a likely restructuring ahead at the club, the suitors who were rebuffed last summer are circling once more.

According to Fabrizio Romano and Matteo Moretto, via CalcioMercato, Milan have never truly moved on from their interest, with Allegri personally requesting in January that the club make a move, a request that was ultimately impossible to fulfil at the time given squad constraints and Fiorentina’s precarious league position.

Three factors that could lead to Milan move for Kean

Three specific factors could prove decisive in convincing Kean to make the move to San Siro.

The first is personal, his close friendship with Rafael Leao, with whom he shares a passion for rap music and has even collaborated on tracks.

The second is Allegri himself, who has consistently rated Kean highly even during the striker’s most difficult periods at Juventus, and whose presence could be a significant pull. The third, and perhaps most compelling, is Champions League football, something Fiorentina simply cannot offer, with their only route to Europe running through the Conference League.

The obstacle, as ever, is financial.

Fiorentina are using a €62 million release clause as their opening valuation, a figure Milan currently consider excessive and have no intention of meeting in full. Bridging that gap will be the central challenge of what promises to be a complicated but fascinating summer negotiation.

Juventus put in a competent second half performance to beat Pisa 4-0 this evening, with goals from Andrea Cambiaso, Khephren Thuram, Kenan Yildiz and Jeremie Boga sealing the win.

Football Italia’s Man of the Match was Yildiz, however, for his electric performance, assist for Cambiaso’s opener and scoring the Bianconeri’s third goal.

Juventus 4-0 Pisa – Player Ratings

Juventus: Perin 6.5; Kalulu 6.5, Bremer 6, Gatti 6 (Kelly 6), Cambiaso 7; Thuram 7 (Koopmeiners N/A), Locatelli 6.5, Conceicao 7 (Miretti N/A); McKennie 6, Yildiz 7.5 (Kostic N/A), David 5 (Boga 7)

Best Juventus player: Kenan Yildiz – Once again very good tonight and proving truly talismanic in Juventus’ attack. Led the charge more than once, picking up a goal and an assist on the way to victory.

Lowest Juventus rating: Jonathan David – Taken off at half-time after a poor half of football, the Canadian is still yet to hit his best levels at Juventus.

Coach: Luciano Spalletti 7.5 – On his birthday, the coach picks up a confident victory and will be happy with the way his team reacted to a difficult first half. Bringing on Boga for David helped significantly as the coach unwraps three points to celebrate.

Pisa: Nicolas 6; Calabresi 5.5 (Iling Junior N/A), Caracciolo 6, Coppola 5; Leris 6 (Cuadrado 6), Aebischer 5.5, Marin 6 (Loyola 5.5), Hojholt 6 (Piccinini 6), Angori 5.5; Moreo 6, Durosinmi 5.5 (Stojilkovic N/A)

Best Pisa player: Stefano Moreo – To give credit to the Pisa forward, he gave it his best shot. Fashioned a couple of good chances and could have scored on another day. Was strong in the air, putting some of his teammates to shame.

Lowest Pisa rating: Francesco Coppola – Was poor today, beaten far too often by Juventus’ front line and completely ineffective in the build-up.

Coach: Oscar Hiljemark 5.5 – Was a game of two halves for the coach who is still fairly new to the club. He will be proud of his team’s display in the first half but perhaps let down by the second.

Juventus midfielder Khephren Thuram scored the club’s second goal in their match against Pisa in Serie A this evening, as the Bianconeri look to stroll to a comfortable victory to keep their top four hopes very much alive.

The French midfielder scored Juventus’ second in the second half, not long after Andrea Cambiaso’s opener.

Celebrating his goal, the Frenchman ran over to head coach Luciano Spalletti, who celebrates his 66th birthday today.

The rest of the team followed Thuram in involving the coach with the celebrations.
