Exiled from the squad Danilo "won't be involved in matches because he's likely to leave," coach Thiago Motta announced.

Impact Danilo hasn't been a starter but has been deployed frequently due to his versatility and lack of alternatives. He has entered the final six months of his contract and could depart in January. Juventus will be very thin defensively until they add some men, especially in the middle behind Pierre Kalulu and Federico Gatti.

DNP in Fiorentina fixture Danilo (ankle) didn't come off the bench in Sunday's 2-2 draw with Fiorentina.

Impact Danilo was good to go after a small injury but wasn't inserted. He's an option in every defensive role but has a few men ahead of him in the depth chart in each of them.

DECEMBER 30, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Fit for Fiorentina game Danilo (ankle) has recovered ahead of Sunday's clash with Fiorentina, coach Thiago Motta announced.

Impact Danilo will return after missing the last game and will provide depth in multiple defensive roles. He had played consistently before the injury, but Andrea Cambiaso and Nicolo Savona are now healthy. He has notched 11 tackles (six won), four interceptions and five clearances in his last five appearances, providing one assist and contributing to one clean sheet.

Unavailable Sunday Danilo (ankle) will not join the team for Sunday's game versus Monza, Juventus announced.

Impact Danilo wasn't cleared after a late fitness test and will stay in Turin to rehab. The injury is reportedly minor. Juventus will host Fiorentina next Sunday. He enjoyed an uptick in minutes due to Andrea Cambiaso's (ankle) injury, who's back for this one.

DECEMBER 22, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Monza bout Danilo has been called up for Sunday's match versus Monza but will be evaluated on game day due to a slight ankle sprain, Juventus announced.

Impact Danilo won't travel with the rest of the squad on the eve of the game to be further assessed by the medical staff. Andrea Cambiaso (ankle) is available, while Weston McKennie manned the left-back role in a midweek Coppa Italia game. Both figure to have better chances of starting over him even should he be passed fit.

Credited with assist in draw Danilo assisted once to go with zero corners and one chance created in Saturday's 2-2 draw versus Bologna.

Impact Danilo isn't known for his attacking runs -- at least not anymore -- but he turned back the clock Saturday. A precise run into the opposing box allowed him to set up Teun Koopmeiners's goal. This was Danilo's first assist of the season, but considering that he spends more time as a center-back than a right-back of late, he's not likely to contribute too much in the attacking third going forward.

DECEMBER 9, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Fills stat sheet against Inter Danilo generated two tackles (one won), seven clearances, two blocks and two interceptions in Sunday's 4-4 draw against Inter Milan.

Impact Danilo was confirmed in the XI over Federico Gatti despite a poor performance against Stuttgart and wasn't much better than in the UCL game, causing another PK, even though he amassed stats in the back. He has recorded five tackles (three won), four interceptions, 10 clearances and three blocks in the last four matches (two starts), with no clean sheets.

Sent off Tuesday Danilo was shown a pair of yellow cards and sent off during Tuesday's clash with Stuttgart.

Impact Danilo was shown two yellow cards in quick succession in the second half and earned a suspension. The defender will miss a Nov. 5 clash with Lille due to the ban. Nicolo Savona could be in line for the start in that Champions League clash with Danilo suspended.

OCTOBER 22, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Subs in late against Verona Danilo (heel) had one tackle (zero won) and eight touches in five minutes in Monday's 3-0 win over Verona.

Impact Danilo didn't start since he was banged up and wasn't needed given how the game unfolded. He faces more competition than last season given Nicolo Savona's early emergence and the arrival of Pierre Kalulu.

AUGUST 27, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Returns to bench Danilo (heel) is on the bench for Monday's match against Verona.

Impact Danilo will not miss any time after being held out of training due to an ankle issue, with the defender having returned in a bench role Monday. He started in 27 of his 29 appearances last campaign and will hope to earn some time to test his legs against Verona, looking to regain his starting spot after that.

AUGUST 26, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Selected for Verona fixture Danilo (heel) has been called up for Monday's match against Verona.

Impact Danilo is fit enough to make the trip and will be evaluated on game day. He'll likely start if he is in good enough shape since Juventus are quite depleted. If not, Nicolo Savona or Pierre Kalulu will get the call.

AUGUST 25, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Verona game Danilo was severely limited in training Saturday due to a left heel contusion, La Gazzetta dello Sport informed.

Impact Danilo will be re-assessed in the next two days but risks missing out altogether or at least beginning on the bench for the second consecutive game. He was a safe bet to start due to Timothy Weah's injury, but the coach will have to turn to Nicolo Savona or Pierre Kalulu if he doesn't recover.

Brazil and Neymar hope to bounce back after Copa América failure

Returns in Coppa Italia Danilo (thigh) got the start and went to distance in Wednesday's Coppa Italia final.

Impact Danilo made a quick return from a thigh issue and looked fine. He'll be available versus Bologna on Monday, but it remains to be seen whether he'll need to be managed and if Juventus will field their best XI. He has tallied 10 tackles (six won), 20 clearances and three blocks in his last five showings, with three clean sheets.

Suffers thigh injury Danilo has been diagnosed with a low-grade myotendinous lesion of his left biceps femoris following the Roma game, Juventus announced.

Impact Danilo will miss at least next Sunday's game versus Salernitana, and potentially more fixtures, to recover. Daniele Rugani and Alex Sandro are the next men up in the back.

Pretty good versus Roma Danilo recorded two chances created, eight clearances, one block and three tackles (two won) in Sunday's 1-1 draw against Roma.

Impact Danilo matched his season high in clearance and contributed on the other end as well, but it wasn't enough to secure another clean sheet. He has helped keep four in the last seven tilts, tallying 13 tackles (seven won), 22 clearances and four interceptions.

Helps secure clean sheet against Milan Danilo generated two shots (one on goal), two tackles (zero won), one clearance and one chance created in Saturday's 0-0 draw versus AC Milan.

Impact Danilo was solid as usual but didn't pile up stats in the back. He had one of the biggest chances of the game with a tap-in from an angled position, but he hit Marco Sportiello's face and the post. He has tallied five crosses (zero accurate), eight tackles (five won) and 13 clearances in the last five games, with three clean sheets.

APRIL 28, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Passable versus Cagliari Danilo recorded three crosses (zero accurate), three clearances, two interceptions and two tackles (one won) in Friday's 2-2 draw versus Cagliari.

Impact Danilo wasn't too great in the back like the rest of the Juventus defense in this one but picked up some stats on the other end and came away with a well-rounded stat line. He has logged six crosses (one accurate), 13 tackles (nine won) and 14 clearances in the last six games, with three clean sheets.
