Weston McKennie - Won't return against Milan McKennie (undisclosed) "hasn't recovered from his issues," coach Luciano Spalletti stated.

Impact McKennie has remained limited in training after skipping the previous fixture and won't be selected. Nicolas Gonzalez and Teun Koopmeiners stand to benefit from his absence. Instead, Nick Woltemade and Kerim Alajbegovic would be more aggressive options.

Andrea Cambiaso - Ruled out for Milan game Cambiaso (ankle) "will miss Sunday's clash with Milan," coach Luciano Spalletti announced.

Kephren Thuram - Sidelined for months Thuram underwent surgery to treat chondropathy of the patella in his right knee in Lyon, Juventus announced.

Impact Thuram tried to play through the issue for a few months, but it flared up again in recent weeks, leading to the operation. Director Giovanni Carnevali stated that they expected him to return after Kenan Yildiz (foot), who will miss two to three months. Thuram should be back at some point in early 2027.

Nick Woltemade - Loaned to Juventus Woltemade signed with Juventus on a season-long loan deal from Newcastle United on Tuesday.

Impact Woltemade was considered surplus to requirements at St. James' Park, but he'll add another goalscoring threat to a Juventus side that needed depth in the attacking third. Woltemade scored nine goals across 43 matches for Newcastle in the 2025/26 season between the Premier League and the UCL.

Pape Matar Sarr - Heads to Juventus on loan Sarr has joined Juventus on loan for the 2026-27 season, with the deal including an obligation to make the move permanent next summer subject to performance-related conditions, the...

Impact Sarr's exit comes after he fell down Tottenham's pecking order following the summer additions of Sandro Tonali and Mateus Fernandes, and he was left out of the matchday squad against Newcastle as he weighed his options ahead of deadline day. The move ends a five-year spell in north London that began with his 2021 arrival from Metz; he made his debut in January 2023 and finishes with 141 appearances.

Jeff Ekhator - Picks up new injury Ekhator has been diagnosed with a moderate-grade strain to the semitendinosus muscle in his right thigh, Juventus announced.

Impact Ekhator got hurt in training shortly after recovering from a previous muscular problem. He'll likely be sidelined for longer this time, as the issue is more substantial. Juventus are in talks to add another striker to join Randal Kolo Muani and Arkadiusz Milik, as Jonathan David is reportedly on his way out.

Kenan Yildiz - Undergoes surgery Yildiz went under the knife to fix a fracture at the base of the fifth metatarsal bone in his left foot in Augsburg, Juventus announced.

Impact Yildiz is expected to need two and a half/three months to make a full recovery and resume playing. Jeremie Boga, Kerim Alajbegovic and Nicolas Gonzalez will fill in for him on the left wing in the meantime, as Juventus aren't expected to make further signings at the position.

Andrea Cambiaso - Avoids serious problems Cambiaso is day-to-day with a right-ankle sprain, La Gazzetta dello Sport reported.

Impact Cambiaso played only a few minutes off the bench versus Parma, but the issue doesn't appear too severe, and he'll be monitored in training to determine his availability for the next round against Milan. Zeki Celik has started over him twice thus far.

AUGUST 30 • ROTOWIRE

Francisco Conceicao - Puts up numbers in Parma clash Conceicao created four scoring chances and had two shots (zero on goal), 11 crosses (three accurate) and six corners in Saturday's 2-0 victory over Parma.

Impact Conceicao took on more duties in the final third because of Kenan Yildiz's (knee) absence, generating a lot of the offense and padding his stats, but he wasn't directly involved in the two goals. He had assisted once last week. He recorded at least two shots, two chances created, and four crosses and exactly six corners in his first two displays.

AUGUST 30 • ROTOWIRE

Pierre Kalulu - Solid as usual in Parma fixture Kalulu recorded four crosses (two accurate), one interception and two clearances and created two scoring chances in Saturday's 2-0 victory over Parma.

Impact Kalulu was dependable in the back and attacked down the flank more than in the opener. He has posted multiple crosses, amassing six (two accurate), and clearances, totaling seven, in the first two tilts, contributing to two clean sheets and adding three chances created and three interceptions.

AUGUST 30 • ROTOWIRE

Zeki Celik - Strong defensively versus Parma Celik won four of five tackles and had three interceptions and one corner in Saturday's 2-0 victory against Parma.

Impact Celik got another start over Andrea Cambiaso (ankle), who quickly got hurt after subbing in at left back and mostly stayed in the back, patrolling his area well. Juventus are reportedly looking for a lefty at the position. He has registered two or more interceptions in the first two appearances, racking up five and adding two clearances and one key pass.

AUGUST 30 • ROTOWIRE

Bremer - Routine display against Parma Bremer won one of two tackles and had two interceptions, four clearances and one off-target shot in Saturday's 2-0 win versus Parma.

Impact Bremer held down the fort in the back in a relatively easy day for the Juventus defense, helping secure the second straight clean sheet. He has tallied two tackles (three won) and at least four clearances, totaling 12, in the first two matches, adding three interceptions and three shots (one on target), scoring once.

AUGUST 30 • ROTOWIRE

Jeff Ekhator - DNP in Parma fixture Ekhator (thigh) didn't feature in Saturday's 2-0 victory over Parma.

Impact Ekhator was an option after recovering from a thigh issue, but he wasn't fielded even though Kenan Yildiz (knee) and Weston McKennie (undisclosed) were out for this match, and Jonathan David got a rare start. Kerim Alajbegovic and Nicolas Gonzalez benefited from the situation instead.

AUGUST 30 • ROTOWIRE

Federico Gatti - Unused against Parma Gatti (ankle) didn't play in Saturday's 2-0 win over Parma.

Impact Gatti returned at his coach's disposal after being unavailable for the Frosinone game but will have to take advantage of his likely rare opportunity to earn a meaningful role, as he's trailing Gleison Bremer, Jhon Lucumi and Lloyd Kelly for two spots in the back.

AUGUST 30 • ROTOWIRE

Douglas Luiz - Productive display versus Parma Luiz had six shots (two on goal), four crosses (zero accurate) and three corners and created one scoring chance in Saturday's 2-0 victory versus Parma.

Impact Luiz put together his second good showing in a row and is one of the few midfielders standing, considering Khephren Thuram's (knee) and Weston McKennie's (undisclosed) injuries. He has notched at least three shots, four or more crosses, and at least seven corners in the first two games, likely securing a regular spot in the XI at least in the early going.

AUGUST 30 • ROTOWIRE

Manuel Locatelli - Picks up assist in Parma contest Locatelli assisted once to go with one cross (zero accurate), one tackle (one won) and four chances created in Saturday's 2-0 win over Parma.

Impact Locatelli was one of the main creators for his side and eventually collected a helper by feeding Teun Koopmeiners after contributing to stripping an opponent deep into enemy territory. He had provided just two in the entire last season. He has registered at least one key pass, amassing five, and one interception, totaling seven, in the first two tilts, adding two tackles (both won) and six clearances.

AUGUST 30 • ROTOWIRE

Teun Koopmeiners - Scores in Parma match Koopmeiners scored one goal to go with one shot (one on target) and one pass in four minutes in Saturday's 2-0 victory over Parma.

Impact Koopmeiners put one of his few touches in the bottom corner with a daisy-cutter shortly after subbing in, sealing the game late. He has been used scarcely in the first two matches but could get more minutes if Kephren Thuram (knee) and Weston McKennie (undisclosed) miss more matches.

AUGUST 30 • ROTOWIRE

Nico Gonzalez - Finds the target versus Parma Gonzalez scored one goal to go with four shots (two on target), one cross (zero accurate) and one chance created in 33 minutes in Saturday's 2-0 victory against Parma.

Impact Gonzalez brought a lot of energy from the bench, was the runner-up in shots for his side despite his minutes and hit the net from distance with the help of a deflection shortly after rattling the woodwork. It's not yet sure whether he'll stay at Juventus or go back to Atletico Madrid. If he does, he'll come in handy while Kenan Yildiz (foot) is on the mend. He hadn't played in the opener.

AUGUST 30 • ROTOWIRE

Guglielmo Vicario - Secures clean sheet versus Parma Vicario (calf) made three saves and didn't concede in Saturday's 2-0 win against Parma.

Impact Vicario stayed on goal after recovering from a mild calf issue and put his hands on a couple of dangerous attempts by Parma right after Juventus had gotten the lead, keeping his first proper clean sheet since he had left early in the previous game. He has made five saves so far. Up next, Juventus will host Milan next Sunday.
