Thiago Motta has urged his injury-ridden Juventus team to regain their winning form against Monza in Serie A on Sunday. Despite being the only unbeaten team, Juventus sits sixth after drawing their last four league matches. Motta's squad has become known for draws, with 10 out of 16 games ending level, a record for them in the first half of a season.

Injuries have plagued Juventus, affecting their performance. Andrea Cambiaso might return this weekend, but Douglas Luiz could be sidelined. "Today we'll assess Cambiaso's condition. On the other hand, I might bring Douglas Luiz, but since I want everyone to be 100%, I prefer to postpone his return to the squad," Motta stated.

Motta also faces the absence of Gleison Bremer, Juan Cabal, Arkadiusz Milik, Jonas Rouhi, and Timothy Weah due to injuries. He remains optimistic about seeing positive growth in the team's performance despite these setbacks.

Juventus aims for a win that could propel them into the top four. Monza has struggled at home this season, earning just three points (D3 L5). They are one of two teams without a home victory in Serie A this campaign and have lost their last three home league games.

Motta is confident about securing an away victory against Monza. "Tomorrow against Monza we face a good team, with a good coach, and as always we must try to play a great game," he said. A win would boost Juventus' standings significantly.

If Monza presents a compact defense, Motta emphasises the need for effective attacking strategies. This approach will be crucial as they aim to break Monza's defensive setup and secure crucial points on the road.
