Welcome to Italy.

Tomorrow Juventus and Milan will maybe play the leg for Coppa Italia BUT at the moment, less than 48 hours from the game it will be an illegal match.

They need a new law since at the moment is possible to play games only from the 14th June 00.01 AM
LoL don't worry those things happens all around the world and not only in Italy and the law or the special authorisation will come. I believe politicians are under heavy pressure right now.

 It all depends on how the league will continue. Right now Juventus is doing fine, they are the leaders and Lazio doesn't really sound like a true competition for them even though the points are quite similar, at one point Inter was very close and even got the lead I think but right now they are not even close. So if Juventus actually could deal with the current situation without the need for any other player, they could simply just use the ones they have and be done with it. If they see a trouble with Lazio and losing the title, they could bring back any player they want and even including Dybala if he doesn't have covid anymore. Hence it all depends on the league situation to bring in who and if, otherwise there is no point on playing with stars, you can go with youth club if there is no chance of losing the title.

I don't know about higuain and how he is doing right now but Juventus doesn't really have the offensive line everyone thinks they do.
Removing Dybala from the equation will make them not really be as good as you think they will be. Looking at their roster right now, it looks like they have Ronaldo+Bernardeschi+D.Costa+Cuadrado at the offensive lines, now Cuadrado is not bad but he is not really a game changer, Bernardeschi is perfect for a bench player you might need in case an injury but not even starting eleven material, only player there that could help Ronaldo would be Costa if he is fully healthy. With just two attackers you can't really do anything in this league.

What I assume would happen is, if Higuain is there to play, they will have Ronaldo roaming free, have Costa from from one wing and cuadrado from another wing with Higuain at the striker zone.

Considering that Douglas Costa is in excellent physical shape according to what is being discussed in pro-Juve pages, I am pretty certain that he will start the Milan match together with Ronaldo up front. Higuain looks certain to miss it. I believe Dybala will play as well and be substituted later on with an attacker from the Juve U23 team (I forgot his name). There are 5 subs now + 2 water breaks, one in each half. It should be fine.

I think that Juve should not overburn all the players.
It is good to start with Ronaldo in the first line up but he doesn't need to play the whole match as there are a lot of game to come in the coming years. He needs to be fresh in order to give his best performance in all games.

Yes even if Higuain will miss this game, for now, Juventus will have no problems in getting a sticker.
Remember they also have in back wing Cuadrado, he can play as a striker too in case of necessity.

Dybala is a football player that every team will want to have.  But the Juventus squad is strong enough to fight without it.  Until Dybala regains its true form, Juventus should play without him. Health comes first.
Juventus attackers can still be relied on without Dybala CR7 can also be relied on because that is influential on the front lines without Dybala also let him rest totally in order to recover again after later in need.

But there is still time for Dybala to recover from what is happening now and before the Italian league begins.

Perhaps as you said, Dybala will be fine and able to play until the matches begin. It may not be good to force too much in this process I want to say. Instead, a low-paced training program can be implemented until the health is completely in good condition. I am sure the Juventus medical team will make the right decision in this regard.

Dybala could be not in great condition but that doesn't mean he is out neither, I would assume they would register him anyway and if he could just train a bit right now, and play like 20-30 minutes in the games at the second half (if the game score allows), he could get back into match shape.

This virus is a nasty one that really hurts your lungs and I assume it will be very very difficult to return to 100% that easily, I think it will take some time to recover, but without really suiting up and going to games you can't recover anyway, just sitting at home is not really a solution, he would be out of condition even worse.

So, Dybala could maybe play some minutes in the league when it starts, or at least he should, if Juventus is ahead 3-0 on a game, whats the harm in putting Dybala at 80th minute? I feel like that would be helpful for him as well.

Dude was starting to get out of shape ever since he transferred to Napoli so I wouldn't be surprised if he got a little bit more fat during this unexpected offseason from him but knowing Juventus maybe it will just be a week or two before he lose that weight especially when knows that the team he is playing right now is looking to offload him. Regarding why people hate him too much I personally don't know why maybe it's because his actions in the field is not that lovable or they are just making fun of his body.
His body shape is fine, Hazard was worse imo. Most people hate him because of his performance in World Cup 2014 final and Copa America 2015 final, which they believe he was the main reason why Argentina lost in both games. Things going worse when he got fat, but seems his body now is better.

Is Higuain really injured or is he is totally out of form and did he come back overweight?
I saw a picture a few days ago where he looked really bad, fat wise. Grin But I can't figure out if it is an old photo or actually taken recently.
It is a recent photo:

fatty lolol  Grin Nah but seriously, he might be a bit fat, but i bet he wasn't the only one who arrived to training looking like a land whale, it's just that ppl focus on hating Higuain way too much...

From all the pictures taken during the practice sessions I can't see Higuain in any of them, even from before the injury.
@coinlocket$ maybe you know more? Have you seen a newer photo of the lad, taken once the group training sessions resumed?

Higuain lost his key player position long time ago. Dybala and Cristiano Ronaldo have very good connections but the problem is Dybala's fitness is not so good because of his virus infection. Despite of that, I have a belief that Ronaldo will be one of the strongest players when leagues come back because of his top professionality. This one probably will help him score goals in the coming match in Coppa Italia.
Seems you don't watch Serie A that much especially Juventus games. Even tho Higuain just scored 5 goals so far in league, but he managed to play 23 league matches this season which 16 of them as starting line up player. It means Sarri still trust in him, and he is more positioned like the role Benzema had when Ronaldo was still playing for Madrid. Get your facts right.

Not your keys, not your coins!
It is a pity that key players like Higuain cannot play important matches. But Juventus has a reserve player which is pretty good,
so it shouldn't be a big problem if play without Higuain. For Dybala who is not in the best condition yet, don't be the starting eleven
in my opinion. For the forward players can play Costa-Ronaldo-Cuadrado, or Costa position can be replaced with Bernardeschi.

Higuain is injured, a light injury and he will skip the game.
Dybala is not on his best condition after COVID 19, at least is what is was saying today.

Juventus should play with D Costa - Dybala - Cr7 vs Milan on the semifinal of Coppa Italy, this Friday.

Then I think Sarri will put Costa, Ronaldo and Bernardeschi in starting line up as front three. Just read somewhere that Zlatan is recovering well. Hopefully he would be able to get in the game.
