From the source

Juventus travels to the Netherlands as they face AZ Alkmaar in their next UEFA Europa League match on Thursday at the Afas Stadion in a bid to continue their unbeaten European campaign.

AZ Alkmaar manager Leeroy Echteld deals with notable structural absences across his squad, particularly navigating a selection issue in goal. Experienced shot-stopper Jeroen Zoet is out due to suspension, and with backup Hobie Verhulst also sidelined, Jeroen De Busser is expected to start between the posts.

Beyond the goalkeeping vacancy, the Eredivisie side will be missing midfielder Kees Smit, who is recovering from a wound, as well as forward Jizz Hornkamp.
