Calcio Italiano: Juventus name squad for exhibition matches in Perth against Inter Milan and Palermo

Young star Kenan Yildiz will be hoping for a better Australian encounter than what he experienced at the World Cup when he makes the trip Down Under to lead a strong Juventus squad in Perth.

Yildiz is among the headline acts in the Italian giants’ 31-man squad to feature in the Calcio Italiano exhibition matches in WA, with Juventus to come up against Inter Milan and Palermo.

The 21-year-old attacking midfielder was part of Turkiye’s side that suffered a 2-0 loss to the Socceroos in their World Cup opener in June.

Another familiar Juventus face to Aussie fans from that tournament is Weston McKennie, who featured for the US against the Aussies in their second group match.

Juventus arrived in Hong Kong on Monday ahead of a practice match against Premier League goliath Chelsea on Wednesday, before an expected arrival in Perth the following day.

They face Inter Milan at Optus Stadium on Saturday night before going up against Palermo at HBF Park next Tuesday, with matches to be screened on Seven and 7Plus.
