Kerim Alajbegovic is expected to be available for Juventus’ trip to Cagliari after returning from international duty with only a minor problem.
According to TuttoMercatoWeb, the Bosnian forward missed his country’s final Nations League match against Poland with a physical issue and had further checks on Wednesday. He trained alone on Thursday morning, but the medical staff are not worried and expect him back with the group later in the day.
Francisco Conceição has already reported back, a few hours late because of flight problems, and is following a personalised programme. Nico González and Jhon Lucumí are due in the coming hours after duty with Argentina and Colombia.
Juventus injury list ahead of Cagliari trip
Luciano Spalletti will still be without several key players. Kenan Yildiz is out until December or January with a fractured metatarsal, and captain Manuel Locatelli faces five to six months out after meniscus surgery. Goalkeeper Kamil Grabara’s season is over after he ruptured his cruciate ligament, and Khephren Thuram also remains sidelined.
Juventus, on 10 points and two behind fourth-placed Cagliari, travel to Sardinia on Sunday. It’s the first of seven matches in 20 days, a run that includes a Europa League tie with Celta Vigo and a meeting with Lazio.
