Juventus, Tudor: Yildiz won’t rest against Como, Zhegrova injured Igor Tudor says Kenan Yildiz won’t rest in Juventus’ away game at Como, while Edon Zhegrova won’t be available due to a hip injury. ............ “Few players were here [during the break], we needed to recover, so we gave the players some days off. McKennie arrived yesterday, and everyone came back in good shape, without injuries. We’ve had two training sessions together to prepare for the match,” Tudor said. “It’s a tough game; Como are a fake small team; they’ve spent a lot of money, and the coach personally chose all the players, which is rare and a really good thing. We respect them, but we want to go there and play our game.” ............ “Everyone says: ‘We are Juventus, we have to win.’ That’s right. If you don’t win all the discussions means very little, but I have to give my perspective and explain it. Those who are intellectually honest will understand. For a coach, it’s difficult. If you don’t win at Juve, you can say whatever you want, but you are still wrong.” Kenan Yildiz scored three goals in two games with the Turkish national team during the break, but when asked whether the Turk could rest tomorrow, Tudor replied with a smile: “No, he won’t.” The Juventus coach then added: “He’s always played behind the striker with me, and he has the freedom to find spaces where he feels more comfortable. He plays wide for the national team and is doing great. If Yildiz is the problem, then we have no problems at all. Great work from him and my staff; he’s grown a lot. ............ .

Marco Tardelli urges Tudor to put faith in Vlahovic Igor Tudor is facing increasing pressure to make a decisive call on his first-choice striker at Juventus, and the uncertainty surrounding this decision is beginning to affect the team’s performances. The Bianconeri have several talented forwards at their disposal, yet finding a consistent goal-scorer has become a significant challenge for the manager. ............ Jonathan David, signed to eventually replace Vlahovic, has been struggling to find the back of the net. His performances so far have not met expectations, and this lack of end product is putting additional pressure on the team. Lois Openda, another forward brought in as part of the club’s long-term planning, has also found goals hard to come by. Despite showing flashes of promise, he has yet to deliver the level of consistency required at a club of Juventus’ stature. As a result, Vlahovic continues to play a crucial role, often coming off the bench to make an impact, even though his future lies elsewhere. ............ This situation could ultimately shape Tudor’s time in charge of the Bianconeri this season. Italian football legend Marco Tardelli has observed the team’s struggles closely and believes the manager should continue to trust Vlahovic as the main striker, at least for now. Tardelli said: “Tudor must focus on Vlahovic, he’s the best striker he has. He needs confidence and consistency. We’re missing a true champion in midfield, but Yildiz has everything it takes to become one.” ............ . Read more -> https://www.juvefc.com/marco-tardelli-urges-tudor-to-put-faith-in-vlahovic/

Bremer is already at the gym, but when will he be fit to play? Gleison Bremer has recently undergone successful knee surgery and is already working on his fitness in the gym. The Brazilian defender, who has previously experienced a long spell on the sidelines due to injury, appears determined to regain his full strength as quickly as possible. His early return to training is a positive sign for both Juventus and their supporters. ............ The defender’s commitment to regaining fitness has already impressed the club and its fans. Reports of him training at the gym have been welcomed by supporters, who are eager to see one of Juventus’ key defensive players back in action. Bremer’s presence in the squad is considered vital, and the Bianconeri are determined to protect him from the risk of further setbacks. ............ Injuries of this nature typically require around four weeks for a full recovery. However, given Bremer’s recent history with long-term injury, Juventus expect that he may need closer to six weeks before returning to competitive matches. While this represents a significant period on the sidelines, the club has made it clear that patience will be exercised to ensure he is fully ready. Missing multiple important games is an inevitable consequence of this recovery period, but Juventus are confident that taking a cautious approach is in the best interest of both the player and the team. The club considers Bremer too valuable to risk re-injury, and their careful management of his rehabilitation reflects the importance they place on his long-term contribution to the squad. ............ .

Juventus tracking 20-year-old Portuguese star Famalicão youngster Gustavo Sá is rapidly becoming one of the most talked-about players in Portuguese football, with Juventus among the major European clubs monitoring his progress closely. The teenager has impressed with his maturity, technical ability, and composure, earning widespread attention from scouts across the continent. ............ The Portuguese midfielder has already built a reputation for being one of the most reliable young players in the Primeira Liga. His ability to maintain consistency, combined with his vision and composure in midfield, has set him apart from many of his peers. Scouts from both Portuguese giants and top clubs across Europe have been attending his matches this season, highlighting the growing competition for his signature. ............ Juventus’ interest in Gustavo Sá is serious, and he is regarded as one of the young players who could realistically be added to their squad. Igor Tudor currently has several experienced professionals at his disposal, but if he remains in charge of the Bianconeri, there could be room in his plans to introduce Sá to first-team football. ............ .

Di Livio says some Juventus players still do not know what the club means Angelo Di Livio has commented on Juventus’ ongoing struggles under Igor Tudor, highlighting that the club currently has several players who do not yet understand the responsibilities that come with playing for the Bianconeri. As a former Juventus star, Di Livio is well aware of the demands placed on anyone wearing the club’s iconic black and white shirt, and he has expressed concern over the team’s recent underperformance. ............ Despite signing several top-quality players in recent seasons, the squad has struggled to demonstrate the consistency and confidence required to win matches and compete for silverware. New signings often speak highly of the club at their introductions, acknowledging its stature and history, yet these declarations have not always translated into performances on the pitch. ............ Di Livio shared his observations on Juventus’ current difficulties and the areas that require attention. He said: “Tudor knows the club. I think there are players who still haven’t figured out where they are, and I see fear. There are players who are highly paid, like Koopmeiners, who looks like the brother of the one we saw at Atalanta. David and Openda still have a lot to grow with; there are many aspects. I don’t like Kalulu as a right-back; I think he’s wasted. There are things that need to be reworked, and I hope Igor can get his hands on them. And today, I’d play Vlahovic. The draw against Milan is a point earned; that mentality is still missing, and it’s surprising.” .

Juventus makes a January decision on the future of Koopmeiners Teun Koopmeiners is facing growing pressure to prove his value as a Juventus player, with time running out for him to demonstrate the form that once made him one of Europe’s most admired midfielders. The Dutchman arrived in Turin with high expectations, but his performances have so far fallen short of what many anticipated. ............ Over the course of one full season and several additional months, Koopmeiners has found it difficult to adapt to the tactical demands placed upon him by the Bianconeri. His performances have been inconsistent, and he has yet to establish himself as a regular game-changer in midfield. Despite his lack of form, Juventus have remained patient. The club decided against offloading him during the last transfer window, even though other players, such as Douglas Luiz, were moved on. That patience, however, now appears to be running thin as the midfielder’s regression continues. ............ Koopmeiners has just over 70 days to prove that he can still become an important part of Juventus’ project. If he fails to improve during this period, the club is expected to place him on the transfer list when the market reopens in January. This timeline effectively gives the Dutchman the remainder of the year to show that he is committed to turning his Juventus career around. ............ .

Capello compares Juventus and Como youngsters Nico Paz and Kenan Yildiz are currently two of the most promising young talents in Italian football. Juventus have invested significant effort in developing Yildiz, who has emerged as one of the most reliable attackers in European football. The club views him as their latest rising star, and fans and pundits alike have drawn comparisons between him and former Juventus legend Alessandro Del Piero. ............ Under Juventus’ system, Yildiz has honed his dribbling skills, one-on-one ability, and overall tactical awareness. His performances have been crucial in several key games, and he has demonstrated a maturity beyond his years. The Bianconeri see him as an integral part of their youth development plans, with the aim of shaping him into a player capable of contributing at the highest level in Serie A and European competitions. ............ Fabio Capello has recently compared both players, highlighting their respective strengths. He said: “Both have great technique; perhaps the Juventus player has a greater ability to use both feet compared to the Argentine, who mainly relies on his excellent left foot. Compared to him, the Turk has more dribbling ability; he’s dangerous in one-on-one situations and has excellent vision and finishing skills. He sees both the play and the goal well, and performs better as a winger who can cut inside towards the centre of the pitch.” ............ .

Lawyer reveals if Juventus faces a transfer ban for financial breaches Juventus are under investigation by UEFA, with the club potentially facing sanctions if any rules have been breached. The Bianconeri were previously penalised when an earlier investigation led to a ban from European competitions, raising concerns among fans that a similar situation could occur again if Financial Fair Play regulations have not been met. ............ The club faces a range of possible outcomes depending on UEFA’s findings. Sanctions could include restrictions on player registration for European competitions, fines, or limits on the number of players allowed in squad lists. Such measures would affect Juventus’ strategic planning and could impact both their domestic and European campaigns. ............ Legal expert Eduardo Chiacchio has offered insight into what Juventus might expect from the investigation. He stated: “And this is actually the most interesting part. We’re dealing with minor violations because, all things considered, we’re talking about negligible, or almost negligible, amounts. The sanctions envisaged include the blocking of one of the transfer windows, or a fine, or a limitation on the number of players available in Europe—for example, a list of 24 could be reduced to 20.” Chiacchio’s analysis suggests that while UEFA’s review is serious, the potential breaches appear to be minor and may not result in severe punishments. The club’s management is expected to cooperate fully with the governing body to ensure compliance and minimise any impact on sporting operations. ............ .

Damien Comolli steps up to become the new Juventus CEO Damien Comolli is set to become the next Chief Executive Officer of Juventus as Maurizio Scanavino prepares to leave the role at the beginning of November. Comolli will officially assume the position on the 7th of November, marking a smooth transition in the club’s leadership. ............ Under Scanavino’s guidance, Juventus has seen a return to stability after a turbulent phase. He has emphasised responsible financial practices and institutional integrity, working closely with ownership and directors to maintain the club’s competitive standards. His approach has been instrumental in re-establishing confidence within the organisation and ensuring that Juventus operates with both ambition and accountability. Scanavino has expressed satisfaction with the progress made under his leadership, stating that he believes he leaves the team in a far stronger position than when he arrived. His efforts have centred on securing a sustainable foundation that his successor can build upon while preserving the club’s identity and values. ............ Comolli joined Juventus as general manager, taking charge of transfer operations after the departure of Cristiano Giuntoli as sporting director. From the beginning, it was made clear that Comolli would not assume that sporting role permanently, with the club set to appoint another individual for that position. ............ .

Preview: Como vs Juventus - prediction, team news, lineups Juventus are one of two teams still unbeaten in Serie A, but they must try to end a frustrating run of draws on Sunday, when visiting Como at Stadio Sinigaglia. Despite failing to win since a dramatic Derby d'Italia victory in mid-September, the Bianconeri are still within range of Italy's top four. Match preview Along with Atalanta BC, Juventus remain undefeated in Serie A this season, and their 11-match run without a league loss actually stretches all the way back to April. It is the third time in four years that Juve have reached this stage of a top-flight campaign without losing, but they are again being plagued by a series of draws. The Bianconeri have just posted five consecutive stalemates for the first time in nearly two decades, following a 0-0 draw with AC Milan before international football intervened. On that occasion, the Turin club dodged a bullet when Milan's Christian Pulisic missed from the spot, and they ultimately seemed content with a share of the spoils. Set to meet Real Madrid in the Champions League next week, Igor Tudor's team have also followed a frantic 4-4 draw against Borussia Dortmund with a 2-2 result in Villarreal, so they will now seek an overdue win. Unbeaten in their last 23 Serie A matches against Como - a run dating back to January 1952 - history suggests Juve can pick up maximum points this weekend. ............ Como Serie A form: W L D W D D Como form (all competitions): L D W W D D Juventus Serie A form: W W W D D D Juventus form (all competitions): W D D D D D Team News Costing Juventus a key cog in their three-man defence, Bremer's latest injury absence is set to continue until December, and they will also be missing Juan Cabal and Fabio Miretti this weekend. Only able to feature as a substitute against Milan, Khephren Thuram is now fully fit and should join captain Manuel Locatelli in central midfield. Tudor is expected to pick livewire pair Francisco Conceicao and Kenan Yildiz in support of a lone striker - Dusan Vlahovic and Jonathan David are leading Lois Openda in that race. ............ Como possible starting lineup: Butez; Posch, Carlos, Ramon, Valle; Perrone, Da Cunha; Vojvoda, Paz, Kuhn; Morata Juventus possible starting lineup: Di Gregorio; Gatti, Rugani, Kelly; Kalulu, Locatelli, Thuram, Cambiaso; Conceicao, Yildiz; David We say: Como 1-1 Juventus Well drilled by their impressive young coach, Como are an increasingly solid side - and they possess plenty of options up front. So, Juventus may have to settle for yet another draw, as the hosts are particularly tough to beat at Stadio Sinigaglia. .

Juventus tells Liverpool to forget about signing their player in January Khephren Thuram was one of the players Liverpool wanted to add to their squad during previous transfer windows, and the Reds made a strong effort to bring him to Anfield. However, after an impressive end to last season, Juventus refused to sell him, and Thuram did not push for a move, as he is happy in Turin. ............ Under Tudor’s leadership, Thuram has become an essential part of Juventus’ setup. His tactical intelligence and consistency have made him one of the first names on the team sheet. The Bianconeri see him not just as an important player for the present but also as a cornerstone for the future. His ability to dictate play and maintain balance in midfield has made him indispensable to the club’s ambitions this season. Liverpool’s struggles have reignited talk of potential reinforcements in January, with the Merseyside club expected to pursue new signings to strengthen their squad. Thuram remains on their list of preferred targets, as his profile aligns closely with the type of midfielder Arne Slot’s side has been seeking. ............ Juventus have told Liverpool to forget about signing Thuram, making it clear that he is not for sale. The club considers him unsellable after his consistent performances and the vital role he has played in their resurgence. ............ .

Pavan suggests there is a witch hunt against Juventus after the latest UEFA news Massimo Pavan has responded to reports that Juventus is under investigation by UEFA for its finances over the last three years following the publication of the club’s accounts for the 2024/2025 season. The Bianconeri have spent recent years working to stabilise their operations and improve transparency after surviving multiple financial scandals. ............ Pavan has expressed frustration that Juventus appears to be subject to investigations more regularly than other clubs, particularly in the wake of the European Super League controversy. Pavan is critical of UEFA’s approach, arguing that Juventus has consistently monitored and managed its finances responsibly. He emphasises that the club has maintained transparency in its operations, particularly over the last year, and believes the repeated investigations are unwarranted. The Bianconeri’s commitment to financial accountability has included public reporting and adherence to governance standards, yet UEFA’s continued scrutiny has prompted concern among the club’s leadership. Pavan suggests that the level of monitoring Juventus faces is disproportionate compared with other clubs, creating a sense of unfair treatment in European football. ............ Pavan said: “I don’t understand UEFA’s report on the Financial Fair Play issue. Juventus has been monitoring this management and this situation for years. Furthermore, over the past year, everything has been handled very transparently and clearly. Sometimes it almost seems like persecution, especially considering that other clubs aren’t monitored with the same level of care.” ............ .

‘Juventus paid the price for failing to sell Vlahovic’ – former Serie A striker Former striker Nicola Ventola believes Juventus were forced into a corner during the summer transfer window after failing to sell Dusan Vlahovic. ............ “In my opinion, Juventus were the ones who really paid the price,” Ventola said. “By not selling Vlahovic, who was supposed to leave, they missed out on their real target – Kolo Muani. It left them scrambling in the final days of the market, signing good players, but not the ones they had truly wanted.” ............ “David and Openda have both scored a lot and provided assists, but playing for Juventus isn’t easy. Things didn’t go smoothly for the club in that sense.” ............ . Read more -> https://football-italia.net/ventola-juventus-paid-the-price-vlahovic/

Chiellini’s new Juventus role as club’s voice in Italian football Giorgio Chiellini’s name was missing from Juventus’ list of candidates for the new board of directors, but far from being a demotion, it signals a shift toward a more hands-on, football-focused role within the club’s evolving structure. The former captain, who now serves as Director of Football Strategy, will move closer to the technical and institutional heart of the Bianconeri project rather than the bureaucratic boardroom. ............ Chiellini will also replace Francesco Calvo as Juventus’ representative within the FIGC, taking on the role of Federal Councillor – a position that strengthens the club’s influence within Italy’s football institutions. Working alongside Damien Comolli, technical director Francesco Modesto, and the soon-to-be-appointed sporting director, Chiellini will form part of the operational core shaping Juventus’ next phase. ............ For Chiellini, it’s the natural continuation of his transformation from captain to executive – still defending Juventus. ............ .
