Two Juventus players should return from injury against Fiorentina Juventus are expecting to regain the services of both Lloyd Kelly and Juan Cabal ahead of Saturday’s contest against Fiorentina. Since his arrival at the end of October, Luciano Spalletti has been operating with a depleted backline. Hence, the former Italy boss had to improvise by transforming Teun Koopmeiners into a left centre-back. But luckily for the new Juventus boss, the situation is beginning to ease, with injured players gradually returning to the fold. ............ Kelly is ready and raring to go. The Englishman has already returned to the training ground at Continassa on Monday, one day ahead of the rest of the squad, who are set to reconvene on Tuesday. ............ Therefore, the 27-year-old missed Spalletti’s first three matches in charge against Cremonese, Sporting and Torino, but is now keen on recovering ahead of Saturday’s fixture against Fiorentina. Cabal, who should follow in Kelly’s footsteps in the coming days. The Colombian made a triumphant return to action following a 10-month layoff, scoring the equaliser against Atalanta, but he picked up another injury a few days later in the Champions League contest against Villarreal. ............ .

Who will replace Vlahovic in Fiorentina vs Juventus clash? A favourite emerges With Dusan Vlahovic struggling with an injury, Juventus boss Luciano Spalletti will have to ring the changes up front ahead of Saturday’s contest against Fiorentina. ............ While Spalletti has been tweaking his starting lineup, relying on Vlahovic in attack has been one of the common denominators. Nevertheless, the Serbian suffered from muscle fatigue in the aftermath of his national team’s World Cup qualifier against England on Thursday. ............ Lois Openda is the ultimate favourite for the role, as the manager is unlikely to resort to Jonathan David. As the source explains, the Canadian will make his return from North America on Wednesday, so he might not be in ideal condition to start in Florence. ............ This would be a major opportunity for Openda to finally break his duck and score his first Juventus goal. The Belgian is a versatile attacker capable of leading the line, and also playing in a support role for the striker, as was the case against Cremonese, when he started alongside Vlahovic. ............ .

Juventus’ Kenan Yildiz request rejected by Turkish national team Juventus were hoping to have Kenan Yildiz back at Luciano Spalletti as early as possible, but Turkiye have other plans. The Crescent-Stars beat Bulgaria on Saturday by two unanswered goals, although the 20-year-old wasn’t satisfied with his performance. ............ Juventus tried to convince the Turkish national team to release Yildiz prematurely, arguing that Tuesday’s contest in Seville is somewhat inconsequential. Moreover, the young forward is one booking away from suspension, so perhaps Vincenzo Montella wouldn’t want to risk losing him for the first leg of the playoffs. Nevertheless, Turkiye had none of it, refusing to let Yildiz leave the camp before the contest against Spain. ............ Therefore, the youngster will only return to Turin on Wednesday morning, where he’ll immediately resume working with his Juventus teammates, in preparation for Saturday’s away contest against Fiorentina. ............ .

Pedulla reveals Spalletti & Juventus three main January objectives New Juventus manager Luciano Spalletti is hoping for three new signings in January, but one is considered non-negotiable. ............ Nevertheless, the former Roma and Napoli boss is expected to soon unleash his own system. He has already hinted that a switch to 4-3-3 could be on the cards. At this stage, what’s holding the manager back from pulling off a tactical overhaul is the current squad at his disposal, as he doesn’t feel it contains all the necessary components for his desired system. Therefore, the Bianconeri will be looking to address this situation in January, by making a few additions to the team. ............ According to Italian journalist Alfredo Pedullà, signing a new deep-lying playmaker is considered an absolute priority for the manager After all, the Tuscan manager had always relied on a Regista to pull the strings in the middle of the park. During his time at Udinese and Roma, David Pizarro was repackaged in the role, while Marcelo Brozovic and Stanislav Lobotka occupied this delicate position when he was in charge of Inter Milan and Napoli respectively. At the moment, Spalletti is forced to rely on Manuel Locatelli in this particular role, a player whom he had overlooked during his time with the Italian national team. Therefore, this is the one request that the tactician won’t be willing to compromise on. In addition to the middle of the park, Juventus will also be on the lookout for a new right-back, especially since Joao Mario hasn’t been able to lock himself a starting role. ............ .

Juventus veteran won’t be allowed to leave in January despite growing interest Juventus goalkeeper Mattia Perin will remain in Turin at least until the end of the season, as the club has no desire to part ways with him. The 33-year-old has always offered a safe pair of hands whenever called upon. And yet, he has never been able to lock himself a starting role at the club. ............ Due to his status as an understudy, Perin has always been linked with the exit door, with suitors trying to lure him away from Continassa by offering him a more prominent role. The last to do so was his former club Genoa, who are said to be keen on bringing their youth product back for a third stint. The Grifone have recently appointed Daniele De Rossi as their new head coach, and the latter is said to be a fan of his former national teammate. But Perin won’t be moving anywhere in the middle of the campaign. ............ The source adds that the Italian custodian could reconsider a move to the ambitious Como, whom he had rejected last season, but only at the end of the season. In the meantime, Perin remains focused on Juventus, and he feels he stands a chance at usurping Di Gregorio in the pecking order, or at least gaining additional playing time. ............ .

Lo stesso discorso vale anche purtroppo per la Juventus

Locatelli: ‘Italy are too fragile, we can and must do better’ Manuel Locatelli admits Italy were ‘fragile’ when crumbling 4-1 to Norway and ‘this must not be our level, we can and must do better’ in the World Cup play-offs. ............ “Our qualification was compromised in Oslo, but today we should’ve done better,” Locatelli said. “We tried to score the second goal, but then were fragile and this must not happen again. We’ve got to see where we got it wrong, as in certain moments we need to stay more united.” ............ “Now we’ll wait for the draw and hope to arrive in March with a very different attitude,” added Locatelli. “Norway are of a very high level, but we still should’ve done better. We have to take responsibility and do better in March.” ............ . Read more -> https://football-italia.net/locatelli-italy-too-fragile-can-must-do-better/

Briatore defends Andrea Agnelli’s legacy at Juventus, thinks Elkann is more attached to Ferrari Legendary Formula One principal Flavio Briatore opens up on the contrasting tastes of Juventus majority owner John Elkann, and former club president Andrea Agnelli. ............ Speaking of controversy, Briatore is a man who hardly minces his words. The Alpine team principal is a longtime Juventus supporter who has personal connections with both Elkann and Agnelli. The 75-year-old argued that while Elkann is certainly fond of Juventus, his main passion is towards his family’s other legendary team, Scuderia Ferrari. “John Elkann was born, while Briatore is self-made. They’re different paths: it’s impossible to say which is easier,” said the Italian businessman in his interview. “I think he loves Juventus. He’s a reserved person, perhaps shy, but Juventus and Ferrari are part of his family history. “He’s probably more attached to Ferrari and motorsport: it’s a question of education and personal taste.” ............ “Three technical revolutions in three years are not good. Stability is crucial. They chose the wrong people, so a more in-depth study is needed. “Everyone criticises Andrea Agnelli, but under him, we achieved exceptional results. In the days of Giraudo and Moggi, we were very strong. It was Juve and Milan, whereas today, it’s Inter and Napoli.” . Read more -> https://www.juvefc.com/briatore-elkann-ferrari-juventus/

Moggi slams Juventus squad: “They only have one good midfielder” Former Juventus sporting director Luciano Moggi is far from impressed with the current squad, highlighting the lack of quality in the middle of the park. ............ For his part, Moggi argued that Juventus only have one solid midfielder in their ranks, and his name is Khephren Thuram. “Which department should Juventus bolster? You should ask the coach and the club. But in my opinion, it’s the midfield,” said the banned director in his interview. “At the moment, there’s only one strong midfielder at the club: Thuram. And that’s not enough.” ............ Moggi also reserved some praise for Luciano Spalletti, considering him the right profile to restore Juve’s status among the elite. ............ “Spalletti has a good impact. He has the attitude of a great coach. He should be credible in the eyes of these young players and improve their performance. “However, the team isn’t very well-built, and improving performance isn’t enough to win trophies.” .

De Rossi invites Juventus veteran to join him at Genoa New Genoa head coach Daniele De Rossi is reportedly keen to bring Juventus goalkeeper Mattia Perin back to Marassi. The Ligurians began their campaign on a torrid note, failing to win a contest in the first nine rounds of the Serie A campaign. Therefore, Patrick Vieira ended up paying the ultimate price. ............ De Rossi has now been appointed as the new Genoa manager, and he registered a 2-2 draw with fellow strugglers Fiorentina in his first match in charge. ............ The 2006 World Cup winner is seeking an upgrade on his current first-choice goalkeeper, Nicola Leali, and has identified Perin as the ideal profile for the role, whom he has known since their time together with the Italian national team. This would be a return to the base for the 33-year-old, who started his career at Genoa before joining Juventus in the summer of 2018 when Gianluigi Buffon left the club. ............ .

Juventus have handed Spalletti greater authority than Tudor ever enjoyed New Juventus boss Luciano Spalletti has been granted more powers at the club compared with his predecessor, Igor Tudor. The Croatian was confirmed at the end of the previous campaign after succeeding in his mission to secure Champions League football. The 46-year-old had only taken over in March, when Thiago Motta was sacked. ............ At the end of October, an uninspired Tudor was sacked after failing to win a match in his last eight, with Spalletti arriving as his replacement. The 66-year-old has immediately been handed greater authority than the man he succeeded. Tudor never held a seat at the discussion table, with the hierarchy leaving him out when making transfer market decisions. ............ Juventus settled for Lois Openda, who has yet to open his goal-scoring account for the club. The Belgian striker wasn’t the only deadline-day deal that Tudor had opposed, as the latter never wanted Edon Zhegrova. The former Juventus boss had also requested the arrival of a new midfielder and a new defender, but the management never fulfilled either demand. On the contrary, Comolli will be sharing every major market decision he makes with Spalletti, who will have a major say. ............ .
