Official: Milan loanee Francesco Camarda starts for Lecce against Juventus

AC Milan loanee Francesco Camarda is playing from start in Lecce’s game against Juventus this evening, hoping to make his mark at Allianz Stadium. 

It’s been an okay season for the 17-year-old so far, with 14 appearances and one goal for the Via del Mare side. However, he hasn’t played that many games from start and the cameos have often been just a few minutes, which is always difficult as a striker.

Therefore, it’s great news that Camarda has been given the chance from start for Lecce against Juventus tonight. The game is scheduled for 18:00, so about 50 minutes from now at the time of writing, and it will be very interesting to see how the striker will get on.

Juventus have certainly picked themselves up since the appointment of Luciano Spalletti, now on three consecutive wins, while Lecce could use some more points to fully distance themselves from the relegation zone. Of course, the Bianconeri are massive favourites in today’s game.

In other loanee news, Lorenzo Colombo – who’s on loan at Genoa – scored a goal for the Rossoblu in the 1-1 draw against Pisa earlier today. It was a very nice strike from outside the box, and at this point, you would expect Genoa to redeem him at the end of the season.
