Juventus have Francisco Conceicao back in full training, and hope Nico Gonzalez will fully recover during the break for international duty too, while Kenan Yildiz is closer to a return.
The Bianconeri limped into November with a decimated squad, stretched very thin by their Serie A and Europa League commitments.
Coach Luciano Spalletti was forced to reshuffle his tactics when missing around 10 players at a time, many of them in attack.

The good news from Sky Sport Italia is that Francisco Conceicao returned to full training today, over three weeks since dislocating his shoulder.
The Portugal international therefore hopes to be available for the first Serie A match back from the break against Venezia on Sunday November 22.
Nico Gonzalez is also getting closer to the full training routine following a calf strain in late October.
Andrea Cambiaso is another player hoping to be back after the break for international duty.
Juve will need to wait a while longer for Kenan Yildiz, who underwent surgery for a stress fracture in his foot in late August, but there are hopes he should be available again in December.
This all points to Spalletti having more wide options to choose from, which in turn could prompt the club to look elsewhere for January reinforcements.
Pierre Kalulu, Khephren Thuram, Manuel Locatelli, Kamil Grabara and Aradkiusz Milik are still out of action.
