In yesterday evening’s sole action involving the Bianconeri, Stefano Sturaro played 45 minutes as the Italy Under-21s suffered a 1-0 friendly reverse at the hands of Serbia in Benevento.
The 22-year-old, who made his Juventus debut earlier this month versus Palermo, was replaced by Danilo Cataldi at the half-time interval before the Azzurrini were reduced to ten men when Domenico Berardi saw red for two bookable offences.
Having bossed proceedings during the first period at the Stadio Ciro Vigorito, the visitors made their pressure tell up against Luigi Di Biagio’s reduced ranks with Luka Milunovic grabbing the winner on 60 minutes.
