The return to the field of Dusan Vlahovic late in arriving. As reported by La Gazzetta dello Sport, yesterday morning the Serbian Juventus in fact he carried out a new personalized session at Continassa. The chances of a new forfeit, after those in the away matches against Milan and Aston Villa, are increasingly probable.
Today’s meeting at the Juventus Training Center will be the decisive test and Motta himself will most likely make the situation of the number 9 official in the press conference at 1pm. The clear impression is that, with so many injuries in the squad, the staff will opt to avoid risking relapses by forcing Vlahovic’s return to Puglia when there will then be six days before the next match, Juventus-Bologna on Saturday 7 December.
Without any return from the unavailable list, to which Nicolò Savona was added after the Champions League, Motta could change direction compared to the last two matches. With only 13 outfield players available (in addition to Vlahovic, McKennie and Savona, Bremer, Cabal, Adzic, Nico, Douglas Luiz and Milik will be missing) Thiago is considering opening up the call-ups to youngsters from the Next Gen or Primavera as well. The Bianconeri coach gave the signal yesterday, integrating some of the eligible profiles into Continassa’s training.
