TURIN – There are two surprises in Juventus's squad for the championship match against Brescia. Maurizio Sarri gave Cristiano Ronaldo a rest, especially in view of the return of the Champions League, but after a long time he called up Giorgio Chiellini , who has finally recovered from his injury but obviously is not yet able to play from the first minute.
Juventus, Sarri responds to Jurgen Klopp during the press conference ahead of the internal match against Brescia.
