Positive news has emerged from Continassa ahead of Juventus’ trip to Pisa, as Luciano Spalletti regains Weston McKennie, with Bremer and Edon Zhegrova also declared fit. However, there is disappointment for Francisco Conceição, who remains unavailable.
IlBianconero report that the Juve held their final training session today in preparation for tomorrow night’s Serie A fixture at 20:45. Spalletti had been dealing with several injury concerns in recent days, but the latest updates have offered some relief — particularly concerning McKennie, who had finished the Roma match with discomfort.
McKennie Set to Feature
The first piece of good news is McKennie’s full recovery. The American midfielder has been cleared to play and will be included in the squad to face Pisa. Given his importance to Spalletti’s tactical setup, McKennie could return straight to the starting line-up, likely operating on the right flank. At the very least, he will be an option from the bench.
Conceição and Cabal Remain Sidelined
Conversely, Conceição and Cabal have not recovered in time. Both continued with individual training sessions today and are not expected to travel with the team. Their muscular problems persist, ruling them out of contention unless there is a late surprise. Conceição’s absence, in particular, leaves Juventus short of options in attack, forcing Spalletti to consider alternative solutions.
Bremer and Zhegrova Back in Group
There were no major concerns over Bremer or Zhegrova, but both players had been managed carefully over the past few days. Zhegrova had been sidelined with flu symptoms, while Bremer was given a lighter workload following a recent knock. Both have now rejoined full training and are available for selection. Bremer is expected to start at the heart of defence, while Zhegrova’s inclusion from the start remains uncertain despite Conceição’s absence.
