Three days ago, Manchester United and Sabah wrote a new chapter in football history, as their managers, Michael Carrick and Valdas Dambrauskas, fielded 22 players from 21 different countries, with the Red Devils' Belgian duo of Senne Lammens and Youri Tielemans the only compatriots on the pitch.A couple of decades ago, something like that would have been inconceivable, but football has changed a lot, and another example of the game's changing landscape comes from Italy, where Juventus are about to face Sassuolo (21.45) with only one Italian in their starting lineup, which hasn't happened since February 2023.๐จ๐ฎ๐น Juventus will have only one Italian player in the starting XI against Sassuolo: Guglielmo Vicario.It hasnโt happened since 28 February 2023, when Fagioli was the only Italian player in Juventusโ starting XI.โ @CorSport pic.twitter.com/PRIkuVDTkIโ Forza Juve | ๐๐. (@theFJEN) September 11, 2026 According to La Gazzetta dello Sport and Football Italia, the Bianconeri's goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario will be the only domestic player in Luciano Spalletti's XI, with injuries ruling out fellow Italians โ Andrea Cambiaso, Manuel Locatelli, and Jeff Ekhator.The remaining "Azzurri" in the squad โ Federico Gatti, Daniele Rugani, Carlo Pinsoglio, Filippo Pagnucco, and Augusto Owusu โ are all likely to start on the bench.Amorim's super-sub Moreira rescues Milan from Gattuso's guillotine at OlimpicoJuve, who have picked up seven points from their opening three Serie A games, have serious injury problems and will face Sassuolo at Mapei Stadium without nine sidelined players, including the three Italians mentioned above, as well as Juan Cabal, Arkadiusz Milik, Jeremie Boga, Weston McKennie, Khephren Thuram, and Kenan Yildiz.Either way, anything but a win against the Neroverdi would be an underwhelming result for Spalletti's team.SERIE A โ MATCHDAY 4FridayVenezia โ Fiorentina 2-4 (1-2)/Adams 22, Hainaut 86 โ Mastantuono 29,30,84, Pellegrino 66/SaturdayGenoa โ Frosinone 1-1 (0-1)/Vasquez 50 โ Kvernadze 14/Lazio โ Milan 2-2 (2-0)/Cancellieri 10, Noslin 39 โ Moreira 65, 67/Atalanta โ Cagliari 1-2 (1-1)/Scamacca 41 โ Mendy 19, Maldini 61 pen/Sunday16.00: (2.70) Lecce (3.05) Monza (2.80)19.00: (1.85) Napoli (3.50) Bologna (4.40)21.45: (5.50) Sassuolo (3.70) Juventus (1.67)Monday19.30: (1.22) Como (6.25) Parma (14.0)19.30: (6.25) Torino (4.10) Roma (1.55)21.45: (1.22) Inter (6.50) Udinese (12.0)***odds are subject to change***
