Serie A giants Juventus have confirmed their travelling squad for the club\u2019s pre-season tour of Hong Kong and Perth, with a number of stars named to make the trip down under.<\/p>\n
The Bianconeri kick off their trip with a clash against Premier League outfit Chelsea in Hong Kong on August 5, with the Blues entering the match on the back of two hit-outs in Sydney against Western Sydney Wanderers and rivals Tottenham.<\/p>\n
Juve then head to Western Australia, where they will meet Italian rivals Inter Milan on August 8, before taking on second tier side Palermo on August 11.<\/p>\n
Luciano Spalletti has named a squad of 31 players for the tour.<\/p>\n
The group is headlined by Turkish star Kenan Yildiz as well as \u20ac32m (A$52m) new recruit Kerim Alajbegovic, who appeared in each of Bosnia-Herzegovina\u2019s matches at the World Cup at age 18.<\/p>\n
Aussie fans will also get a glimpse of big names like Jonathan David, Weston McKennie, Francisco Conceicao, Randal Kolo Muani, Douglas Luiz, Manuel Locatelli, Arkadiusz Milik, Teun Koopmeiners and Zeki Celik.<\/p>\n
Kolo Muani returns to the Juve setup after spending last season on loan at Spurs, where he made 41 appearances in all competitions.<\/p>\n
Notable names to not make the trip down under include the injured Khephren Thuram and Nico Gonzalez, who spent last season on loan at Atletico Madrid and was a member of the Argentina squad who reached the World Cup Final.<\/p>\n
