Matri & Quagliarella tell Tudor which Juventus striker to start against Milan Juventus manager Igor Tudor might be facing a selection dilemma ahead of Sunday’s clash against Milan, as he has to choose which striker will lead the line. This season, three centre-forwards have been vying for the No.9 role: Dusan Vlahovic, Jonathan David and Loic Openda. ............ Former Juventus striker Alessandro Matri doesn’t agree with Tudor’s reported choice, as he insists that Vlahovic should be ahead in the pecking order, even though his expiring contract is complicating his status at Continassa. “In terms of quality, I’d say Vlahovic, but we know about his contractual issues,” noted the former Cagliari bomber in his interview. “For a club looking to build a project, I don’t know how feasible that is, but of the three strikers they have, I’d always go for Vlahovic.” ............ For his part, Fabio Quagliarella agrees with his former Juventus teammate, as he also believes that Vlahovic has something extra to offer. “I’d start Vlahovic tonight against Milan at the Stadium, despite rumours that David will start,” said the retired striker ............ .

Juventus vs Milan probable lineups: Vlahovic & David vying for a starting spot On Sunday evening, Juventus and Milan will clash heads in one of the most anticipated fixtures of the Serie A calendar. The Bianconeri will host their former manager, Max Allegri, and his Rossoneri band at the Allianz Stadium in Turin. The contest kicks off at 20:45 CET. ............ Pierre Kalulu, Federico Gatti and Lloyd Kelly will start at the back, as Gleison Bremer remains unavailable. Joao Mario and Andrea Cambiaso are expected to take the wings in the 3-4-2-1 formation. While Khephren Thuram is back in the squad, the source still tips Weston McKennie to start alongside Manuel Locatelli in the double pivot. ............ Following his mid-week heroics, Francisco Conceicao will regain his starting berth in the attacking trident, starting alongside Kenan Yildiz. Dusan Vlahovic could lead the line, but Jonathan David could get the nod once more, despite his disappointing showing in Spain. Moreover, Kalulu could start as right wingback instead of Joao Mario, with Daniele Rugani filling in at the back. ............ Juventus Probable XI (3-4-2-1): Di Gregorio; Kalulu, Gatti, Kelly; Joao Mario (Rugani), Locatelli, McKennie, Cambiaso; Conceicao, Yildiz; Vlahovic Milan Probable XI (3-5-2): Maignan; Tomori, Gabbia, Pavlovic; Saelemaekers, Fofana, Modric, Rabiot, Bartesaghi; Pulisic, Gimenez .

Koopmeiners reaches a new low as he is not called up by the Netherlands Will Teun Koopmeiners rediscover his best form at Juventus? This is the question many are now asking after the midfielder endured another difficult spell in Turin. The Dutchman arrived at the Allianz Stadium with a stellar reputation, having established himself as one of Serie A’s finest talents during his time at Atalanta. ............ However, his time in Turin has not lived up to the billing. Last season was disappointing by his own standards, yet the club maintained faith in him. ............ His difficulties at club level have now spilled onto the international arena. Koopmeiners has been omitted from the latest Netherlands squad for technical reasons. This marks a significant moment, as he had previously retained the faith of the Dutch selectors despite his uneven form for Juventus. The decision is a blow to the player’s confidence and highlights the extent of his current struggles. ............ Koopmeiners himself would likely admit that his performances have not been up to standard. For a player of his quality, the current situation represents a clear underachievement. Yet he still has the attributes to succeed, and with consistent support from the coaching staff, Juventus hope he can find his form again. ............ .

Juventus vs AC Milan: Preview and Prediction Two of Italy’s most decorated clubs face off under the Turin lights on Sunday evening, as Juventus welcome AC Milan to the Allianz Stadium in what promises to be a captivating Serie A showdown. Separated by a single point in the standings, both sides have made encouraging starts to the 2025/26 season and see this as a key early test in their title ambitions. For Juventus, consistency has been the main theme under Igor Tudor. The Bianconeri remain unbeaten in Serie A, extending their league run without defeat to 10 matches dating back to April. However, despite the solidity, performances have not been without their flaws. A 1-1 draw against an injury-stricken Atalanta BC last weekend saw them drop valuable points, salvaged only by a late equaliser from Juan Cabal. Tudor’s side have shown attacking improvement, but defensive lapses continue to haunt them, a recurring theme evident again in their Champions League campaign. In midweek, Juventus were involved in yet another thriller, following up their chaotic 4-4 draw with Borussia Dortmund by drawing 2-2 with Villarreal. Despite leading 2-1 heading into the final minutes, they were pegged back by former loanee Renato Veiga’s equaliser. The Croatian coach will be looking for a reaction as Juve return to domestic action, aiming to close the gap on leaders Napoli, AS Roma, and AC Milan. They can take confidence from their 1-0 win over the Rossoneri at this venue in January, though that remains their only victory in the last four meetings between the sides. ............ Team News & Tactics Juventus Juventus head coach Igor Tudor faces a few injury concerns ahead of the weekend clash against AC Milan. The Bianconeri will be without Colombian wing-back Juan Cabal, who sustained a thigh injury just 15 minutes into Wednesday night’s Champions League draw with Villarreal. He now joins Fabio Miretti, who is still recovering from a muscular problem, on the treatment table. However, there is encouraging news for Juventus fans, as both Gleison Bremer and Khephren Thuram are expected to make their returns to the starting lineup. Bremer’s comeback will be a major boost for the defensive unit, while Thuram’s recovery from a minor knock could see him replace Weston McKennie in central midfield. In attack, Tudor faces a pleasant selection dilemma. Dusan Vlahovic, Lois Openda, and Jonathan David are all pushing for a place in the starting XI. Vlahovic remains the natural first-choice striker, but Openda’s energy and David’s versatility could tempt the coach into some tactical reshuffling depending on how the game unfolds. Juventus are expected to line up in a 3-4-2-1 formation. Michele Di Gregorio will retain his spot in goal, shielded by a back three of Federico Gatti, Gleison Bremer, and Lloyd Kelly, who together will aim to contain Milan’s fluid attacking trio. Out wide, Pierre Kalulu and Andrea Cambiaso are likely to occupy the wing-back roles, providing both defensive cover and overlapping runs to support transitions. In midfield, Manuel Locatelli will anchor the play, operating as the deep-lying playmaker, while Khephren Thuram will provide physicality and forward thrust alongside him. Further forward, Francisco Conceicao and Kenan Yildiz will slot in as the two attacking midfielders, drifting into half-spaces to connect with the front line and exploit any gaps in Milan’s defence. At the tip of the formation, Dusan Vlahovic should lead the line, using his aerial prowess and hold-up play to trouble the Rossoneri’s back three. This setup allows Juventus to balance compactness at the back with rapid vertical transitions, a key feature of Tudor’s tactical philosophy. The wing-backs will be crucial in stretching Milan’s shape and providing service into the box for Vlahovic, while the midfield duo will need to match Milan’s intensity to prevent being overrun. Probable Lineup (3-4-2-1): Di Gregorio; Gatti, Bremer, Kelly; Kalulu, Locatelli, Thuram, Cambiaso; Conceicao, Yildiz; Vlahovic AC Milan ............ Probable Lineup (3-5-2): Maignan; De Winter, Gabbia, Pavlovic; Saelemaekers, Fofana, Modric, Rabiot, Bartesaghi; Pulisic, Gimenez Key Stats Juventus and AC Milan have been inseparable in recent years, their last eight Serie A encounters have produced two wins each and four draws. Only eight goals have been scored by either side combined during that period, highlighting how tightly contested and defensively disciplined these fixtures have been. The Bianconeri have kept four consecutive clean sheets against Milan in Serie A, their longest such run in the fixture’s history. The last goal they conceded to the Rossoneri was scored by Olivier Giroud in May 2023, meaning Milan have gone over 400 minutes without scoring against Juventus. Juventus won their most recent home meeting with Milan (2–0 in January 2025), ending Milan’s four-match unbeaten streak in Turin. Interestingly, only one of the last six Serie A clashes between these sides in Piedmont has ended level, a 1–1 draw in September 2021. Igor Tudor’s side are one of only three unbeaten teams in Serie A this season. Their ongoing ten-match unbeaten run (W6 D4) stretches back to April 2025, when they last lost a domestic game, to Parma. This consistency has been built largely on their defensive resilience and efficient counter-attacks. Under Massimiliano Allegri, AC Milan have rediscovered form, winning four consecutive Serie A matches, marking their longest winning streak since April 2024 (under Stefano Pioli). During this run, the Rossoneri have scored eight goals while conceding only twice, reflecting a well-balanced and revitalized side. Player to Watch Dusan Vlahovic All eyes will be on Dusan Vlahovic, Juventus’s prolific frontman, as he leads the line against AC Milan in what promises to be a high-stakes encounter in Turin. The Serbian striker has rediscovered his rhythm under Igor Tudor, combining physical dominance with sharp finishing to reassert himself as one of Serie A’s most lethal forwards. ............ The 24-year-old has scored crucial goals in tight matches this season, often breaking deadlocks when Juventus need inspiration. Against a reshuffled Milan backline missing Fikayo Tomori and Pervis Estupinan, Vlahovic’s physical presence and predatory instincts could prove decisive. If he finds space in the box, Milan’s defence may struggle to contain him for the full ninety minutes. ............ Prediction Juventus 2–1 AC Milan Both Juventus and AC Milan come into this clash in strong domestic form, with unbeaten streaks that underline their credentials as title contenders. Juventus have built their recent success on defensive discipline, conceding very few goals in Serie A this season, while AC Milan’s resurgence under Massimiliano Allegri has been driven by sharp attacking transitions and the creative spark of Christian Pulisic. The hosts’ biggest advantage lies in their defensive solidity and the return of key players such as Bremer and Khephren Thuram, which should restore balance to Igor Tudor’s system. Dusan Vlahovic will look to capitalise on a weakened Milan backline missing Fikayo Tomori and Pervis Estupinan, giving Juventus a slight edge in physical duels inside the box. Milan, however, remain dangerous on the counterattack, especially with Christian Pulisic and Santiago Gimenez capable of punishing any defensive lapses. Yet, the Rossoneri’s lack of defensive stability and fatigue from squad adjustments could tilt the contest in Juventus’s favour. .

Round 6: Juventus vs. AC Milan match preview Even if a certain somebody wasn’t coming back to Turin this weekend, Juventus and AC Milan’s first meeting fo the 2025-26 season would be filled with narrative with how both clubs have started the season. They’re one point apart in the Serie A standings, with Milan sitting atop the table alongside defending champions Napoli and Roma on 12 points. Juve, of course, are just one point behind despite their recent string of draws. ............ This weekend is the first time since their not-so-amicable split a year and a half ago following the Coppa Italia final that Max Allegri will be walking through the tunnel at the Allianz Stadium. But instead of making the turn to the home bench that he’s spent so many years patrolling, he will turn the opposite direction on Sunday night as he makes what he has described as an “emotional” return to Turin for the first time with Milan. He will almost certainly get a warm reception for what he did during his time as Juve manager regardless of how things ended. (And things technically ended with him winning a trophy, so it’s not like it was so bad.) ............ Allegri has the same kind of situation going for him in his first season with Milan that he did during his last campaign with Juventus — no European football and a week to train (and rest his players accordingly) between games. It’s clearly paying off so far, and the proof of that is what they did against Napoli last weekend even with the hurdle to clear of being down to 10 men for the final half hour at the San Siro. So, it’s pretty easy to see that Milan enter Sunday night’s showdown as the more in-form squad. And the much more rested, too. ............ Regardless of the results, Juve manager Igor Tudor says that things are improving. That, of course, is the public-facing view on things, but Tudor has shown during his short time as coach that he is a pretty straight shooter when it comes to how he views his team and the things going on around them. So this is what he had to say about things when asked about the current state of his squad at Saturday’s pre-match pre-match press conference: TEAM NEWS The two big doubts for Juve’s meeting with Milan continue to be Gleison Bremer and Khephren Thuram, who both missed the draw with Villarreal due to their respective injuries. Even if available for selection, neither player is expected to start against the current league leaders. Thuram did return to full training on Satruday, so he looks to be available to face Milan in some capacity. Bremer, however, could miss a second straight game going into the international break after doing individualized training to start the weekend. ............ Dusan Vlahovic appears to be the favorite to start in the No. 9 spot of Tudor’s 3-4-2-1 formation over Jonathan David and Loïs Openda. So if you were hoping for a little continuity up front, it might not be happening this weekend coming out of the midweek fixture. Francisco Conceição is expected to be back in the starting lineup after only being fit enough to come off the bench against Villarreal, a game in which he scored in to give Juve the lead. In a clear sign of just how long his wonderful career has spanned, 40-year-old Luka Modric will be playing against a team managed by his former national team teammate in Tudor, who is seven years his senior. That is pretty nifty. JUVENTUS PLAYER TO WATCH He was the unexpected source of an absolute worldie of a goal midweek. But, at the same time, there is still a lot to be desired about what his primary responsibility on the opposite end of the field. And with Bremer looking like he’s set to probably miss a second straight game, Mr. Cats only becomes that much more important to Juventus’ chances of beating their former manager at the Allianz this weekend. If you were to compare the form that Federico Gatti is displaying at this point of the season compared to 12 months ago, it is a very noticeable difference. For whatever reason, the early-season level Gatti displayed to begin the 2024-25 season has not been the same come the 20245-26 campaign. ............ With Allegri switching to a 3-5-2 a few weeks back, it likely means that Gatti will be going up against more speed in attack rather than a pure No. 9 that is brute force trying to match his brute force. That’s not something you really associated with Santi Giménez, and certainly not with Christian Pulisic — who should combine to form an all-CONCACAF strike partnership against Juventus. So that means Gatti will, like against Villarreal, have a lot of pace and technical ability to try and stop no matter if he’s on the right or in the center of Tudor’s three-man backline. ............ MATCH INFO When: Sunday, Oct. 5, 2025. Where: Allianz Stadium, Turin, Italy. Official kickoff time: 8:45 p.m. local time in Italy and across Europe, 7:45 p.m. in the United Kingdom, 12 p.m. Eastern time, 11 a.m. Central time, 9 a.m. Pacific time. .

Del Piero suggests Juventus is under less pressure to win than AC Milan Alessandro Del Piero is expected to tune in and watch Juventus’ match against AC Milan this weekend if he is not present at the stadium. The former Juve icon maintains a keen interest in his old club and, like millions of supporters worldwide, hopes to see the team secure a victory. ............ Del Piero commented on the situation: “The fact that they’re playing in the Champions League doesn’t put any more pressure on them. When you play a game a week, you absolutely have to do it well, so Milan has a huge responsibility. But they’re two teams equipped to do anything.” His remarks highlight the contrasting circumstances both clubs face and underline that Milan’s lighter schedule places expectations on them to perform consistently. Top teams with strong squads, who compete in fewer matches per week, are often seen as having a better opportunity to challenge for domestic titles. Yet Del Piero emphasises that such factors should not be an excuse for Juventus. Elite clubs, he suggests, thrive under pressure and are expected to deliver results regardless of the schedule or the obstacles in front of them. ............ While Juventus may not be considered outright favourites for the clash, the team is determined to demonstrate its ambition in the title race. Del Piero’s insights reinforce the idea that, despite the challenges posed by European commitments and the strength of the opposition, Juventus possess the quality and experience required to compete at the highest level. ............ .

Tudor does ‘not see big difference’ between Juventus and Milan Igor Tudor does ‘not see’ a big difference between Juventus and Milan as he’s satisfied with his players’ performances: ‘We played better than Atalanta and Villarreal.’ ............ “I don’t know what kind of game it will be. Milan are a top-level team with a great coach and great players, and they are in good form. We’re playing at home and we have to play a great game,” Tudor said at a press conference on Saturday. ............ “What’s missing is a win, that’s clear. When I analyse, I look at the performance. Against Atalanta and Villarreal, we put in two great performances, and we played better than our opponents,” Tudor said. “The players pushed hard and gave everything. We were just short of taking all three points. “We’ve been playing the same way for six months; we surely have an identity. ............ “We need to play a great match tomorrow. I don’t see big differences between us and Milan. The pitch will show who is stronger. They have the advantage of having played on Sunday or Monday, we have to give absolutely everything.” ............ “It’s not about man-marking or zonal marking, or how many players there were. I put Vlahovic precisely to have more height. What we lacked was someone saying, ‘The ball is mine.’ “What matters to me is that the team has improved in the last two matches. That’s what counts. The result depends on many factors,” Tudor continued. Gleison Bremer and Khephren Thuram missed the latest match against Villarreal, but while the former didn’t train with the rest of the team on Friday, the latter partially worked with the rest of the group. ............ “We’ll see after the training session today. I can’t say anything yet,” Tudor concluded. ............ . Read more -> https://football-italia.net/tudor-no-big-difference-juventus-milan/

Allegri is not out for revenge when Juventus faces AC Milan Juventus face AC Milan this weekend in one of Serie A’s most anticipated fixtures, and much of the attention will be on Max Allegri. After leaving Juventus in 2024, Allegri returned to management this summer by taking charge of Milan. His storylines add further intrigue to a match that is already rich with history and rivalry. Allegri knows both clubs well. He spent eight years at Juventus across two separate spells, guiding the team through numerous domestic battles, while also previously serving as Milan’s manager. ............ Allegri explained: “It’s not a revenge. When I went to Juve, I thanked Milan for the first four years. Before coming back here, I thanked Juve. Tomorrow isn’t a revenge, it will be a good match. Fortunately, I’ll be on the bench; it seemed strange to me the other day after the suspensions I picked up (laughs). We’ll have to play a good match tactically. Defense? We defended well against Napoli, but we could have done better, like in the penalty shootout.” His remarks reflect a calm and pragmatic approach. Rather than dwelling on the past, Allegri emphasises the importance of tactics and focus, underscoring that preparation and execution will ultimately determine the match’s outcome. ............ As one of the most experienced coaches in European football, Allegri recognises that sentiment cannot overshadow performance. While some might expect animosity after his sacking by Juventus, he appears to acknowledge that his dismissal was a consequence of the team’s poor results and his own decisions, rather than wrongdoing by the club. This perspective allows him to approach the clash without personal distraction. ............ . Read more -> https://www.juvefc.com/allegri-is-not-out-for-revenge-when-juventus-faces-ac-milan/

AC Milan could be without a key player against Juventus AC Milan is preparing to win their fifth consecutive league game and maintain their position at the top of the Serie A table when it visits Juventus tomorrow. The Rossoneri have shown excellent form in recent matches and will be looking to continue their impressive streak against one of Italy’s most historic clubs. Juventus, on the other hand, will be keen to ensure that Milan’s run of victories does not extend beyond four games in front of their home supporters. ............ Milan will work hard to secure a win, but they could be without one of their key players for the upcoming match. Fikayo Tomori has been a doubt for the game as an important part of their three-man defence and is now expected to miss the fixture. The defender has not recovered in time to make the squad, and even in the hours leading up to the match, there is only a slim chance he will be declared fit to play in Turin. Milan has indicated that they will not risk fielding him if he is not fully ready, leaving Juventus one less player to consider in their preparations. ............ Although Tomori has been a key player for Milan, the team has other talented individuals capable of influencing the outcome of the match. Juventus will need to prepare as if Milan is at full strength, given the quality present throughout their squad. The Rossoneri’s depth and versatility make them a formidable opponent, and despite the absence of a single defender, they remain well-equipped to challenge Juventus on their home ground. ............ .

Tacchinardi thinks Juventus missed Thuram more than Bremer against Villarreal Juventus travelled to Spain for their Champions League clash against Villarreal without two of their most influential players, Gleison Bremer and Khephren Thuram. Both men were unavailable after sustaining minor injuries in the previous Serie A fixture against Atalanta, and their absence was felt as the Bianconeri recorded a 2-2 draw. ............ Juve’s defensive line remained relatively solid in Spain, yet the midfield struggled to impose itself over ninety minutes. Reflecting on the performance, Alessio Tacchinardi gave his assessment of where the team suffered most. He said: “I think Thuram’s absence in midfield was really felt. Bremer is an important player, but the defense didn’t play terribly. The midfield problem is becoming quite evident; the team needs something extra and some players. The feeling from the outside is that the two midfielders are struggling to hold the entire pitch for ninety minutes.” Tacchinardi’s comments reinforce the sense that Juventus lacked energy and stability in the middle of the park. Without Thuram’s presence, the side found it difficult to maintain control, leaving gaps that Villarreal exploited. ............ Juventus have now failed to win in their last four matches, a run that underlines the importance of getting their key players back to full fitness. Both Bremer and Thuram have been integral to the team’s structure this season, and their return could be decisive in restoring form. ............ .

Juventus ban 3 Parma fans over racist abuse of McKennie Juventus on Friday banned three Parma fans for directing racist abuse at United States midfielder Weston McKennie during the clubs' Serie A meeting in August. Juventus had condemned the incident following the season-opening game in Turin on Aug. 24, saying McKennie had been targeted by racist remarks from away fans while he was warming down with teammates on the pitch. ............ "Thanks to the state-of-the-art surveillance system at the Allianz Stadium, including a multifocal camera system, law enforcement authorities were able to first identify and subsequently confirm the identities of three visiting supporters who, as announced at the end of the match, were responsible for making discriminatory and racist remarks towards Juventus player Weston McKennie while he was training on the pitch after the match," Juventus said in a statement Friday. "Juventus Football Club, which strongly and unequivocally condemns this serious incident and any form of racism, has decided to enforce the 'Codice di Gradimento' against those responsible, in line with its 'Code of Conduct,' which provides for a ban on attending football events organized by the Club." ............ .

Lille set asking price for Juventus target Lille has long been recognised as one of Europe’s leading talent factories, consistently producing high-quality footballers who go on to excel at the highest level. The latest name emerging from their system is Ayyoub Bouaddi, an 18-year-old midfielder who is quickly becoming a vital part of their first-team setup. ............ Among those expressing interest is Juventus, which has increasingly shifted its transfer strategy towards signing and developing younger players. The Turin giants are eager to strengthen their squad with promising talent, and Bouaddi is considered a potential long-term asset. For the player himself, the opportunity to join a historic club such as Juventus would undoubtedly be an attractive prospect, even if some observers believe it may be too early for such a move. Lille, however, are well aware of the interest their young midfielder is generating. The French side, often regarded as a selling club, has set an asking price to reflect his potential and importance. ............ Lille are prepared to sanction Bouaddi’s departure for a fee in the region of €30 million. This valuation signals their willingness to cash in should the right offer arrive, but it also underlines the high regard in which the player is held. For Juventus, securing his signature would require making substantial funds available, though such an investment could prove valuable in the long term. ............ .

É questo uno dei problemi maggiori di Koopmeiners, secondo me. Quello che la Juve ha pagato per accaparrarsi le sue prestazioni lo rende ansioso. Si sente in dovere di fornire prestazioni eccelse e, poiché non ci riesce, entra in uno stato confusionario che é sotto i nostri occhi. Anche in Olanda non lo riconoscono piú ed é anche uscito dal giro della nazionale.

Io penso che Esnaider e Athirson siano stati peggio di Koopmeiners. Mi piacerebbe sapere cosa gli chiede di fare Tudor quando lo schiera da trequartista che l'olandese non é. Lo mettesse allora a centrocampo insieme a Locatelli e Thuram per un 3-5-1-1 che forse andrebbe meglio di adesso.

Preview: Juventus vs AC Milan - prediction, team news, lineups Two Calcio giants clash in Serie A's Sunday night kickoff, as Juventus play host to AC Milan at Allianz Stadium. When the teams convene in Turin, Juve will trail Milan - who are now coached by their former manager - by one point in the standings, with both hoping to fight for the title. Match preview While there have been some familiar flaws on show this season, Juventus remain unbeaten in Serie A, and their 10-match run without a league defeat stretches all the way back to April. Last week's 1-1 draw with injury-hit Atalanta BC kept them on the coat-tails of leading trio Napoli, Roma and Milan, with 11 points on the board so far. Yet, it was a frustrating result against La Dea on home turf, and only a 78th-minute equaliser from Juan Cabal saw Juve share the spoils. Then, in the Champions League, Igor Tudor's team continued their entertaining start to the league phase on Wednesday night, following up a frantic 4-4 draw with Borussia Dortmund with a four-goal game in Spain. Juventus fell behind, then came back to lead 2-1 against Villarreal, but they failed to keep the back door shut, as ex-Juve loanee Renato Veiga hauled the hosts level late on. Tudor certainly has plenty to work on - not helped by some uneven recruitment at the Turin club in recent years - and his next test comes along this weekend. Just before Tudor's return, Juventus won their most recent home game against Milan in January - a few days after losing to them in the Supercoppa Italiana - but that is Juve's sole success across the last four meetings. ............

The hosts have a three-way battle for selection in attack, as Lois Openda and Jonathan David both vie with Dusan Vlahovic for selection: widely fancied to make an impact in Serie A, David barely featured for his club in September. ............

Will Bremer and Thuram be fit for the AC Milan game? Gleison Bremer and Khephren Thuram were absent when Juventus travelled to Spain to face Villarreal in the Champions League during midweek. Both players had sustained minor injuries in the previous match against Atalanta, prompting Igor Tudor to take a cautious approach and leave them behind rather than risk aggravating their conditions. ............ Juventus have an opportunity to secure a vital result when they meet Milan, direct rivals in the league standings. The contest carries added importance as both clubs aim to establish themselves as consistent contenders for the title this season. The return of key personnel could prove decisive in determining the outcome of the match. Bremer has been central to Juventus’s defensive solidity since his arrival, and his presence at the back will be critical in containing Milan’s attacking threats. He is expected to be back in the squad for the weekend encounter. His composure, aerial ability and defensive awareness have made him an indispensable figure, and his return would provide reassurance to both the manager and the supporters. ............ Thuram’s recovery has also progressed well, with confirmation of his inclusion in the latest France squad for the October international window serving as evidence of his improving fitness. His ability to control the midfield, contribute defensively and transition quickly into attack has made him one of the most promising performers for Juventus this season. The expectation is that he will be fit to start against AC Milan, offering the team balance and stability in the centre of the pitch. ............ .

In-form Conceicao is pushing for a Juventus start against AC Milan Two matches and two goals mark a run that makes it increasingly difficult to overlook Francisco Conceicao as he presses his case for another starting opportunity. His recent contributions have drawn attention and reinforced his importance within the Juventus setup. ............ Chico has proven to be an influential figure at the Allianz Stadium. In the recent match against Villarreal, it was his presence that altered the course of the game in favour of Juventus. Brought on to replace the struggling Teun Koopmeiners, Conceicao provided a spark that enabled Juventus to elevate their performance and improve upon a lacklustre display earlier in the match. His energy and direct play proved decisive, shifting momentum at a crucial stage. Conceicao is now in line to secure a starting place when Juventus take on AC Milan this weekend. The prospect of facing Max Allegri’s side, currently labelled a winning machine, presents both a challenge and an opportunity for the forward. ........... The broader context of the fixture adds weight to the decision. Juventus enter the contest without a victory in their last four matches, a run that contrasts sharply with Milan’s form. Milan has secured four consecutive league wins and has ascended to the top of the table, intensifying the stakes for Juventus. ............ .

Tardelli tells Tudor three areas he needs to work on The 1982 World Cup winner, Marco Tardelli, has been closely following Juventus and believes there are specific problems that must be addressed if the club is to return to consistent winning form. Juventus remain one of the most recognised sides in world football, but their limitations have become increasingly evident in recent weeks. After beginning the season with a strong run of victories, the Bianconeri have now failed to win any of their last four matches across all competitions. ............ . Tardelli explained his view on the team’s current problems. He said, “Another draw—they’re starting to become annoying, especially when they’re lacking focus and determination—and once again too many goals. A positive note was Conceiçao, who changed the game: unfortunately, it wasn’t enough. Tudor has a lot to work on with set pieces, midfield, and mental toughness.” His remarks highlight three clear areas of concern. First, the team’s vulnerability at set pieces continues to cost them. Second, the midfield lacks the control and intensity required to dominate games consistently. Finally, Tardelli points to issues with mental resilience, suggesting the squad must rediscover focus and determination to avoid lapses that lead to dropped points. ............ Juventus players understand the urgency of regaining momentum. Draws may protect an unbeaten record, but they do little to sustain a genuine title challenge or progress deep into European competition. Without addressing these weaknesses, the club risks losing ground to rivals who are more consistent in delivering results. ............ .
