“It won’t be the same [defence] because Alex Sandro has been out for two months,” Pirlo told Juventus TV. “He is still a bit tired, but he will come with us to Benevento.
“We are lucky that [Leonardo] Bonucci is back and trained with the group, while Cristiano is resting because he was a bit tired after so many games and we didn’t plan to bring him to Benevento.”
Aaron Ramsey returned from a muscle injury in the Champions League this week and played the last seven minutes of the 2-1 win over Ferencvaros.
“I see him as an attacking midfielder, he has surprised me,” Pirlo said about the former Arsenal midfielder.
“He’s an intelligent player who is always positioned well in all situations. I see him there because he’s very good at finding the spaces to play in.”
