From the source

Luciano Spalletti is ready to shift from a 3-5-2 to a 3-4-2-1 at Genoa, with Alajbegovic among the options behind the striker. With eight players injured and Napoli due on Sunday, he expects his team to stay broadly the same.

Luciano Spalletti is ready to tweak his shape at Genoa without tearing up his team. On the eve of the trip, the Juventus coach said one very small positional change turns the 3-5-2 into a 3-4-2-1.

Anyone, he added, can fill the two roles behind the striker. He named Alajbegovic, Boga and Zhegrova as options in that zone. Kolo Muani was his example of the profile he has in mind.
