New Juventus manager Maurizio Sarri has been struck down with sickness ahead of the Italian Serie A opener with Parma this weekend.

The former Chelsea manager is down with flu as confirmed via a statement from the official website of Juventus earlier today.

Sarri was named the Juventus manager this summer.

He has a three-year contract at Juventus until the end of the 2021/22 season and the Italian tactician will earn £6.1m at the club.

Juventus have won the last eight league titles in the Italian top flight and a month league title will be the target for Maurizio Sarri and his players.

In addition, Sarri and Juventus are keen to end their long wait for the Champions League title this season.

Juventus are yet to win the trophy in 23 years and counting.

The Italians have reached two finals in the last four years and they are one of the favourites to win this year’s edition alongside the likes of Spanish La Liga champions Barcelona and Premier League champions Manchester City.

Maurizio Sarri spent just one season as the Chelsea manager and it ended with the Europa League title made possible by the 4-1 win over London rivals Arsenal in their final clash last season.

Arsenal director Josh Kroenke has revealed that the aim of the club is to return to Champions League football and also win the league title for the first time in 15 years.

The Gunners have not won the league title since the 2003/04 when the North London giants went through the season without a single defeat.

That Arsenal squad is known as the Invincibles and it was made possible by legendary Gunners boss Arsene Wenger.

The Frenchman was the Arsenal manager for over two decades before he left the job last summer and was replaced by current boss Unai Emery.

Josh Kroenke is the son of Arsenal owner Stan Kroenke and he spoke to BBC Sport about the plans in place to enable the club return to the top of English football.

According to him, the target for Arsenal is to win the league title in the coming years after almost two decades.

Arsenal have started the new Premier League season on a good note with two wins from two games.

The Gunners are one of just two teams to have won two from two league games this season.

Arsenal defeated Newcastle United 1-0 away from home in the first game before the 2-1 win over Burnley at home in the second league game of the season.

Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has been heavily criticized following the penalty miss that overshadowed the league meeting with Wolverhampton Wanderers on Monday night.

Wolves hosted Manchester United at the Molineux on Monday night in a game which ended 1-1 but the major talking point was the penalty miss by Paul Pogba in the second half.

Former Manchester United midfielder Paul Ince criticized the lack of managerial skills from Ole Gunnar Solskjaer as Marcus Rashford and Paul Pogba deliberated on the penalty taker after the Red Devils were given a spot-kick in the second half.

Manchester United were given the penalty after Paul Pogba was fouled by Wolves skipper Conor Coady.

Paul Pogba had a brief discussion with Marcus Rashford before the former stepped up to take the penalty which was saved by Wolves skipper Rui Patricio.

Many Manchester United fans and pundits have blamed Solskjaer and Pogba after the penalty incident led to a draw rather than a win for the team.

They thought Marcus Rashford should have taken the penalty having scored on the opening day of the Premier League.

Rashford scored one of the goals from the penalty spot as Manchester United thrashed Chelsea 4-0 in the first game of the new Premier League season.

Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher has revealed three Arsenal players that will give his former club problems ahead of their Premier League meeting this weekend.

Liverpool will take on Arsenal at home in what’s one of the three games in the new Premier League season.

Arsenal and Liverpool are the last two standing as far as teams with a 100% record are concerned.

Jamie Carragher talked about the upcoming league clash between Liverpool and Arsenal on Monday Night Football (MNF) on Sky Sports.

According to him, the Liverpool defence will struggle to contain the Arsenal front of three, consisting of Alexandre Lacazette, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Nicholas Pepe.

Jamie Carragher said that Liverpool have been lucky this season as they have been shaky at the back mainly due to the high line employed by the Reds.

Liverpool won their first game of the season 4-1 against Norwich City at home before the Reds beat hosts Southampton 2-1 in their second league game of the season.

On their part, Arsenal began the season with the slim 1-0 away win over Newcastle United.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang scored the only goal of the game and also scored the winning goal for Arsenal in their last league match, a 2-1 victory over Burnley at the Emirates Stadium.

Ex-Dutch international winger Arjen Robben has picked Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola as the best manager he worked with during his illustrious career.

Arjen Robben announced his retirement from football at the end of the last campaign.

In a chat with popular media channel Goal, Arjen Robben picked Pep Guardiola ahead of the likes of Jose Mourinho and Carlo Ancelotti.

Robben spent some time at Chelsea and Real Madrid before joining Bayern Munich in 2009.

The Dutch winger scored the winning goal for the Bavarian giants as they won the 2012 Champions League title via a 2-1 victory over German Bundesliga rivals Borussia Dortmund.

His last game for Bayern Munich was the German Cup clash with RB Leipzig.

Arjen Robben was part of the Bayern Munich team that won the German Cup title with the 3-0 win over RB Leipzig in the final.
