Juventus faces injury crisis ahead of derby against Inter Milan
Juventus could be without up to six players when they face rivals Inter Milan this Saturday (13), at 1 p.m. (Brasília time), at Allianz Stadium, in the 3rd round of Serie A. The “Old Lady” returns from the FIFA break with a crowded medical department and one suspension, raising concerns for coach Igor Tudor.

- Mattia Perin (finger injury)
Meanwhile, Francisco Conceição is listed as doubtful after reporting muscle discomfort during international duty with Portugal.
On the other side, Inter Milan will head into the derby at full strength, with no confirmed injuries.
