Juventus goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny missed the Serie A clash with Udinese after feeling discomfort in his right shoulder ahead of Sunday's game.
In a statement on social media, Juve said Szczesny reported the problem on the morning of the match and will be rested as a precaution. Gianluigi Buffon started in goal at Allianz Stadium after completing 90 minutes in the midweek Champions League win over Bayer Leverkusen.
The 41-year-old kept a clean sheet in Germany but made a glaring error in his last Serie A appearance, the 2-2 draw against Sassuolo on December 1. Mattia Perin was added to the matchday squad as Maurizio Sarri's men aimed to overtake leaders Inter, who visit Fiorentina later on Sunday.
