Wojciech Szczesny - Keeps clean sheet versus Genoa Szczesny registered two saves and secured a clean sheet in Sunday's 0-0 draw against Genoa.
Impact Szczesny was mostly a spectator as Juventus pulled the strings for most of the match. He hadn't shut down the opponents in eight fixtures. He has allowed eight goals and made 15 saves in the last five matches. Juventus will face Lazio away on March 30.

Federico Gatti - Takes four shots against Genoa Gatti had four shots (one on goal), two clearances, one interception and one cross (zero accurate) in Sunday's 0-0 draw versus Genoa.
Impact Gatti was tidy in the back and also a secondary menace on the opposing box, although he didn't take advantage of his chances in that regard. He has posted 10 shots (two on target), five tackles (four won) and seven clearances in his last five appearances, with one clean sheet.
MARCH 17 • ROTOWIRE
Bremer - Very solid against Genoa Bremer generated three tackles (one won), two clearances, nine successful duels and four interceptions in Sunday's 0-0 draw versus Genoa.
Impact Bremer led the defense with command and filled it up as Juventus returned to form in the back. He has logged 11 tackles (seven won), 13 clearances and four interceptions in the last four rounds.
MARCH 17 • ROTOWIRE
Danilo - Decent in Genoa game Danilo drew one foul and recorded two tackles (one won), four successful duels and one clearance in Sunday's 0-0 draw against Genoa.
Impact Danilo wasn't as busy as other defenders but contributed to the clean sheet with his experience. Juventus hadn't blanketed the opponents in a while. He has posted 11 tackles (five won), 10 clearances and four blocks in his last five showings.
MARCH 17 • ROTOWIRE
Fabio Miretti - Lively against Genoa Miretti recorded one shot (zero on goal), five crosses (zero accurate), two key passes and five corners in Sunday's 0-0 draw against Genoa.
Impact Miretti didn't put up massive numbers but was one of the few bright spots for his side and stayed on the pitch even after Adrien Rabiot (toe) subbed in. Still, his minutes are going to take a hit since Juventus have recovered almost all their top midfielders in the last two weeks. He has tallied three shots (one on target), six chances created and seven crosses (zero accurate) in the last three games.
MARCH 17 • ROTOWIRE
Federico Chiesa - Yanked early in Genoa contest Chiesa won one duel, recorded two crosses (zero accurate) and one chance created and was dispossessed six times in Sunday's 0-0 draw versus Genoa.
Impact Chiesa had an off-game, along with most of the other Juventus attackers, after a pair of solid performances. He was replaced midway through the second half due to ineffectiveness, but Kenan Yildiz didn't do much better. He has scored once and added 12 shots (three on target), 10 chances created and 20 crosses (seven accurate) in the last five rounds.
MARCH 17 • ROTOWIRE
Samuel Iling-Junior - Busy as sub against Genoa Iling-Junior had one shot (one on goal), eight crosses (four accurate), two chances created and three corners in 31 minutes in Sunday's 0-0 draw versus Genoa.
Impact Iling-Junior dropped to the bench after starting in the past two games, but his production didn't really take a hit since he was very dynamic. He co-led his team in deliveries along with his competitor for minutes, Filip Kostic, posting his new season high. He has totaled 17 crosses (seven accurate), five key passes and three shots (two on target) in his last five appearances.
MARCH 17 • ROTOWIRE
Filip Kostic - Returns to XI in Genoa clash Kostic had one shot (zero on goal), eight crosses (two accurate), one chance created and four corners in Sunday's 0-0 draw versus Genoa.
Impact Kostic got the nod after being benched in the last two weeks and put up decent numbers, mostly thanks to set pieces, even though he wasn't particularly brilliant. He and Samuel Iling-Junior will likely keep alternating on the left wing. He has recorded 26 crosses (five accurate), four key passes and six shots (zero on target) in his last five showings.
MARCH 17 • ROTOWIRE
Andrea Cambiaso - Passable in Genoa contest Cambiaso had one shot (zero on goal), four crosses (two accurate), three tackles (zero won) and two chances created in Sunday's 0-0 draw against Genoa.
Impact Cambiaso was one of the focal points of the offense and uncorked a pair of juicy deliveries that could have been better exploited by his teammates in the second half. He has scored once and added eight shots (one on target), 13 crosses (three accurate) and five key passes in the last five rounds.
MARCH 17 • ROTOWIRE
Adrien Rabiot - Quiet in return versus Genoa Rabiot (toe) won two duels, drew one foul and generated one cross (zero accurate) in 31 minutes in Sunday's 0-0 draw against Genoa.
Impact Rabiot was eased off the bench after missing two matches and had no impact on the game. He'll look to get completely healthy during the break and will likely be back in the XI against Lazio.
MARCH 17 • ROTOWIRE
Mattia Perin - Doesn't feature against Genoa Perin (knee) was an unused sub in Sunday's 0-0 draw versus Genoa.
Impact Perin watched the game from the bench after being sidelined for over a month by a knee injury. Perhaps he could get a chance if Wojciech Szczesny rests before or after the Coppa Italia semifinals. He has started twice his campaign, allowing one goal, making three saves and keeping one clean sheet.
MARCH 17 • ROTOWIRE
Mattia De Sciglio - Unused versus Genoa De Sciglio (knee) didn't play in Sunday's 0-0 draw with Genoa.
Impact De Sciglio worked his way back after missing 11 months due to a serious knee injury but understandably didn't get minutes in his first game. He'll be a deep option on the wings and as a center-back going forward.
MARCH 17 • ROTOWIRE
Dusan Vlahovic - Sees red late versus Genoa Vlahovic had seven shots (zero on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and one chance created before being sent off in the stoppage time in Sunday's 0-0 draw with Genoa.
Impact Vlahovic had good volume, leading his team in attempts as usual, but came close to scoring just twice on a pair of headers, where he could have perhaps done more. He was expelled for arguing too much after getting a yellow card. He'll be unavailable for March 30's away game versus Lazio, where Moise Kean will lead the line since Arkadiuz Milik (thigh) just got hurt.
MARCH 17 • ROTOWIRE
Adrien Rabiot - Begins on bench Sunday Rabiot (toe) will commence as a sub in Sunday's clash with Genoa, Juventus relayed.
Impact Rabiot has worked his way back from an injury but won't get the start immediately as he didn't practice regularly enough to be a full go. He should get some action in the second half. Fabio Miretti is staying in the XI.

Alcaraz rallies after 3-hour rain delay to reach Indian Wells final. He'll play Medvedev for title.
Carlos Alcaraz defeated Jannik Sinner 1-6, 6-3, 6-2 to end the Italian’s 19-match winning streak and advance to the BNP Paribas Open finalMARCH 17 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Arkadiusz Milik - Diagnosed with thigh strain Milik sustained a left adductor longus lesion in training, Juventus announced.
Impact Milik will be re-evaluated in a fortnight but will likely have to miss a game or two after the break. Moise Kean will absorb his playing time behind the starters.
MARCH 16 • ROTOWIRE
Mattia De Sciglio - Returning from major injury De Sciglio (knee) will be part of the squad Sunday, coach Massimiliano Allegri informed.
Impact De Sciglio will be available for the first time in the season after rupturing his ACL back in May. He'll provide depth in multiple defensive roles. He played 17 times (11 starts) in Serie A in the past campaign, totaling 14 tackles, 17 clearances and 26 crosses (six accurate).
MARCH 16 • ROTOWIRE
Mattia Perin - Recovers from knee sprain Perin (knee) "will resume being available against Genoa on Sunday," coach Massimiliano Allegri announced.
Impact Perin will reprise deputizing Wojciech Szczesny after missing six weeks because of an MCL tear. He has featured just twice this campaign since Juventus didn't need to rotate much without the European cups.
MARCH 16 • ROTOWIRE
Adrien Rabiot - Will be back against Genoa Rabiot (toe) "will return Sunday," coach Massimiliano Allegri informed.
Impact Rabiot will be in contention after sitting out two games due to a toe dislocation and might reclaim his starting job, unseating Fabio Miretti, right away. He has scored once and added six shots (two on target), four chances created and seven crosses (two accurate) in his last four appearances.
