Juventus made a change at halftime in their match against Genoa, with Michele Di Gregorio coming on to replace starting goalkeeper Mattia Perin.
The club had recently seen shifts in its goalkeeper hierarchy. While Michele Di Gregorio was initially a preferred choice, a series of errors led to him being benched, and Mattia Perin stepped in as the primary starter.
Di Gregorio, formerly with Monza, had not featured in six consecutive matches across Serie A and the Champions League, with his last appearance being the 2-0 home defeat to Como on February 21.
Despite being on the bench for the evening’s Week 31 fixture against Genoa, he made a surprising return to action in the second half.
Reports indicate that Perin experienced discomfort in his calf muscle, leading to the decision to substitute him at halftime to prevent further injury. Di Gregorio entered the game as his replacement.
