Vlahovich returns to the team!

In the 83rd minute against Sporting CP this week, Vlahovic suffered a minor injury and had no choice but to be replaced by Adzic.

Fortunately, Vlahovic's injury was quickly relieved. According to the famous reporter Di Marzio, Vlahovic has quickly returned to Juventus training camp and is actively preparing for the Turin Derby that starts at the weekend.

The Juventus coaching staff is naturally pleased with the return of Vlahovic, but Spalletti must always pay attention to the reasonable use of Vlahovic. From October 23 to the present, Vlahovic has started five consecutive games for Juventus. If he continues to enter the starting lineup on the weekend, coupled with the two World Cup preliminaries in mid-November, Vlahovic may enter a "continuous period of rest" and his physical fitness will face a huge test.

When Vlahovich sounded the physical alarm, Juventus needed new aid David to wake up. So far this season, David has played 13 times for Juventus and only contributed 1 goal and 1 assist. His performance is really mediocre, and there are constant rumors on the Internet. There are rumors that Juventus intends to send him away in the winter window. However, according to Gazzetta dello Sport, Spalletti is still confident in activating David. David, who just won the CONCACAF Player of the Year award last season, may play an important role in the Turin derby at the weekend.

Dear David, please rediscover the feeling of scoring goals with Oponda!

Other trends from Juventus

Recently, the French men's football team announced the roster for the November World Cup preliminaries. Juventus star Thuram is absent, which means that if there are no personnel changes, Thuram will stay at the Juventus base for training in the two World Cup preliminaries in November to avoid more physical exertion. In late November, Juventus will face three consecutive tests against Fiorentina, Bode Shine and Cagliari. Juventus fans expect Thuram to play a key role on the court.

After Spalletti took office, McKennie has entered the starting lineup for two consecutive games. Facts have proved that McKennie's active running and interleaving on the court have brought vitality to Juventus' offense and defense. Spalletti is very satisfied with McKennie's performance. According to Italian media reports, Juventus management has intended to start contract renewal negotiations with McKennie.

Also waiting for the contract extension with McKennie is Kostic. In the match against Sporting CP in the middle of the week, Kostic only played 18 minutes as a substitute, but got 3 shooting opportunities. Unfortunately, he failed to seize them. Despite this, Juventus fans still applauded the conscientious Kostic. I believe that as the winter window approaches, the contract renewal between Juventus and Kostic will gradually become clear.
