Tudor plans Juventus attacking tweak with Kolo Muani return | OneFootball

Tuesday’s reports claim that Igor Tudor is preparing an attacking tweak to his Juventus line-up ahead of Saturday’s Serie A fixture at home against Lecce, as both Dusan Vlahovic and Randal Kolo Muani could start together for the first time under the Croatian’s management.

Reports Tudor planning attacking tweak to Juventus line-up

According to Tuesday’s reports from Tuttosport, Tudor is leaning towards a particularly attacking line-up against Lecce to better support Vlahovic at centre-forward. The Serbian has recorded just one shot on target from his two starts under the new Bianconeri head coach.

In an attempt to get more out of Vlahovic, Tudor is reportedly planning on sticking with the 3-4-2-1 shape he has deployed over his first two games in charge, although this time with Kolo Muani and Kenan Yildiz in the supporting roles behind Vlahovic in attack.

While Kolo Muani hit the ground running with five Serie A goals from his first three Juventus appearances, neither the Frenchman nor Vlahovic have found the net since the 1-0 win over Cagliari on February 23.

Kolo Muani was left among the substitutes for Tudor’s Juventus debut: A 1-0 win over Genoa, but earned 22 minutes off the bench during Sunday’s 1-1 draw with Roma.

With Kolo Muani set to be reinstated to the starting XI along with Vlahovic and Yildiz, Tuesday’s reports claim that Nico Gonzalez will also be deployed as an attacking-minded wing-back with either Andrea Cambiaso or Timothy Weah out on the other flank.
