Juventus take on Fiorentina in Coppa Italia semifinal tie

Juventus and Fiorentina play each other in a Coppa Italia semifinal first leg tie.

Paul Pogba

Juventus and Fiorentina both go into this match with lots of injury concerns for either teams. Fiorentina will be without Italian forward Guiseppe Rossi and Khoma Babacar which means Mario Gomez will start up front on his own with in form winger Mohamed Salah and Vargas on the wings. Defender Stefan Savic and Cristiano Lupatelli are both out injured so GOnzalo Rodriguez and Micah Richards will start in the center back spot.

Juventus will be without Andrea Pirlo for this tie and Roberto Pereyra will move into the central midfield provided Paul Pogba fails to prove his fitness ahead of the kickoff. Juve will probably change their formation after a disappointing draw in the league against AS Roma. Fernando Llorente and Carlos Tevez will start up front. Marco Storari will come in to replace Gianluigi Buffon as the manager looks to rotate the squad.
