Juventus are stepping up preparations at Continassa ahead of Saturday’s crucial Serie A clash against Fiorentina at the Stadio Franchi. IlBianconero report that the Bianconeri received both encouraging and cautious news from today’s training session, just two days before the trip to Tuscany.
Vlahovic Returns to Partial Training
Dusan Vlahovic made a partial return to group training this morning following the muscle fatigue he suffered during his recent international duty. His condition will continue to be monitored closely over the next 24 hours to determine whether he can be included in the travelling squad.
There is still a sense of cautious optimism within both the medical and technical staff that the Serbian striker could, at the very least, be fit enough to take a place on the bench. His availability would provide a timely boost for Luciano Spalletti, who may need extra attacking options for such a challenging away fixture.
Cabal Back in the Squad
There was further good news for Juventus as Juan Cabal also rejoined full training. The Colombian defender has been sidelined since the match against Villarreal on 1 October but has now recovered fully and is once again available for selection. His return gives Spalletti more flexibility in defence, particularly if he opts to switch to a four-man backline for the Fiorentina encounter.
Kelly Ready for Selection
Meanwhile, Lloyd Kelly continues to make steady progress. The English defender resumed team training yesterday and is set to be fully fit for Saturday’s match. His return, along with Cabal’s, adds valuable depth to the defensive line as Juventus aim to bounce back to winning ways in Florence.
