Perin to Start as Juve Rest Gatti Ahead of Perth Friendly

Spalletti says the match will be used to manage player load and test options while the club keeps its transfer plans unchanged.

Overview

Juventus manager Luciano Spalletti confirmed Mattia Perin will start in goal for the friendly against Palermo in Perth and that goalkeeper minutes are being alternated to evaluate options.
Spalletti said Federico Gatti will not start because of fatigue and may play only 20 to 30 minutes as a precaution to protect his fitness.
Michele Di Gregorio has delivered strong saves in recent friendlies and will remain part of the rotation as Juventus balances match practice with minutes management.
Spalletti told reporters that the club’s transfer-market ideas remain the same after the tour, signaling continuity rather than reactive moves following the friendlies.
The Asia–Australia pre-season tour is being used to integrate new signings, give minutes to youth and rotation candidates, and monitor players such as Gatti who are also attracting outside interest from Napoli.
