Despite early anticipations, Juventus winger Timothy Weah is now in prime position for a beginning berth versus Udinese.

While most accounts were tipping Filip Kostic to begin on Monday night, it appears that Max Allegri has actually now chosen to drop the Serbian in favor of the USMNT star.

Italian reporter Gianluca Di Marzio validates the news, as did TuttoJuve and JuventusNews24.

Therefore, Weah will begin on the extreme right, changing Andrea Cambiaso to the left flank. This unforeseen twist comes at the expenditure of Kostic who will discover himself on the bench.

Allegri will hence select a lineup comparable to the one embraced at the start of the season, with Cambiaso modifying positions with Federico Chiesa on the left flank.

The latter will begin in attack along with Arek Milik, however will typically wander to the left wing while Cambiaso cuts to the middle.

On the other hand, Weah will integrate with his compatriot Weston McKennie on the best flank. The American midfielder signs up with Manuel Locatelli and Adrien Rabiot in the middle of the park.

In defense, Allegri will need to do without the suspended Danilo. The Juventus supervisor will change the club captain with another Brazilian veteran in the shape of Alex Sandro.

The 32-year-old will link with Gleison Bremer and Federico Gatti at the back.

Juventus Probable XI (3-5-2):  Szczesny; Gatti, Bremer, Alex Sandro; Weah, McKennie, Locatelli, Rabiot, Cambiaso; Milik, Chiesa
