Motta will choose Savona over Danilo if Gatti misses the game against Napoli

Although Thiago Motta has stated that Federico Gatti is fit to play, the defender may not be in the starting lineup for Juventus' match against Napoli today.

Gatti has been a regular for Juve since the start of the season, but was substituted during the match against PSV after feeling minor discomfort.

Motta replaced him with Danilo, who has struggled to get playing time this season. If Gatti is unavailable, Danilo could be next in the starting lineup for Juventus.

However, that might not be the case as Juve face Napoli today in Serie A. The Bianconeri will likely be without Gatti and according to a report from AllJuveMotta plans to move Pierre Kalulu to central defence and have Nicolo Savona start at right back.

So far, Danilo Motta has not been able to impress enough to secure a starting place at the Allianz Stadium.

Juve FC says

Savona looks much more secure at right-back than Danilo, and the Brazilian did not cover himself in glory with his performance in our game against PSV.

He needs to keep working hard and impress the manager, even if he only starts in the second half. If he can do that, Motta will soon give him a place in the starting eleven again.
