He contributed to two clean sheets in 26 displays (16 starts) in 2025/2026, tallying 95 clearances, 30 interceptions and 17 tackles.

Edon Zhegrova - Ruled out for Parma game Zhegrova won't be involved Saturday because of late muscle fatigue, Juventus relayed.

Kephren Thuram - Set to visit specialist Thuram won't be available Saturday against Parma and will travel to Lyon early next week to get his knee checked out, Sky Italy reported.

The upcoming tests will determine whether he'll miss more time and what therapy he requires to make a full recovery.

He contributed to two clean sheets in 26 displays (16 starts) in 2025/2026, tallying 95 clearances, 30 interceptions and 17 tackles.

Kephren Thuram - In doubt for Parma fixture Thuram "needs to be evaluated because of an ailment," coach Luciano Spalletti stated.

Impact Thuram has had a difficult summer because of a lingering injury that required mostly rest to heal and continues to pay the price for it, even though he was technically available for the opener. Juventus would be particularly thin in the midfield, as Weston McKennie (undisclosed) has been ruled out. Teun Koopmeiners, Kerim Alajbegovic and Augusto Owusu will pick up the slack.

AUGUST 28 • ROTOWIRE

Weston McKennie - Absent versus Parma McKennie "won't be available Saturday due to muscle fatigue," coach Luciano Spalletti stated.

Impact McKennie suffered an ailment in training and will be completely spared to avoid more serious injuries. Teun Koopmeiners or Kerim Alajbegovic will take his place as no.10, as Khephren Thuram isn't 100 percent either, Kenan Yildiz (foot) is out long-term and Fabio Miretti is leaving the team.

Impact Yildiz, his camp, and the Juventus medical staff are debating whether and where to have surgery or if he can heal through conservative therapy. Either way, he's set to be sidelined for a long time. Jeremie Boga and Kerim Alajbegovic will absorb his minutes if the club doesn't sign other players.

AUGUST 27 • ROTOWIRE

Lloyd Kelly - Quiet stat line in clean sheet Kelly registered one shot (zero on goal) in Sunday's 1-0 win against Frosinone.

Impact Kelly did not put up much on the stat sheet and struggled in duels, winning just one of five, while managing only two clearances defensively. Still, the center back stayed composed alongside Bremer and helped Juventus preserve the clean sheet.

AUGUST 26 • ROTOWIRE

Manuel Locatelli - Six interceptions Sunday Locatelli had one cross (zero accurate) and one chance created in Sunday's 1-0 win versus Frosinone.

Impact Locatelli delivered a classic double-pivot performance against Frosinone, breaking up six attacks with interceptions and clearing five more balls out of danger to lead all Juventus players defensively. He also created a chance and won eight duels in the middle of the park, rounding out a complete display.

AUGUST 26 • ROTOWIRE

Pierre Kalulu - Three tackles in clean sheet Kalulu recorded one shot (one on goal), two crosses (zero accurate) and one chance created in Sunday's 1-0 victory against Frosinone.

He was equally strong defensively, winning three tackles while adding two interceptions and five clearances as Juventus opened the season with a clean sheet.

AUGUST 26 • ROTOWIRE

Zeki Celik - Solid debut with Juventus Celik had two clearances and two interceptions in Sunday's 1-0 win against Frosinone. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 50th minute.

Impact Celik made his first Juventus league appearance, playing the match at left back rather than his more natural right side. The defender was tidy without the ball, recording two interceptions and two clearances, and also showed some attacking upside by combining well enough going forward to create a big chance. He was booked during the game and was taken off in the 69th minute.

AUGUST 26 • ROTOWIRE

Bremer - Goal and clean sheet in opener Bremer scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal) and three chances created in Sunday's 1-0 win versus Frosinone.

Impact Bremer was excellent in both ends, scoring the decisive goal at one end and helping preserve a clean sheet at the other. The Brazilian center back found the net from one of his two shots on target and set up three scoring chances, one of them a big chance, while also winning two tackles and adding an interception, a block and eight clearances at the back. It added up to a complete, all-around display from Bremer across every phase of the game.

AUGUST 26 • ROTOWIRE

Francisco Conceicao - Assists in opener Conceicao assisted once to go with four shots (one on goal), four crosses (three accurate) and six corners in Sunday's 1-0 victory versus Frosinone.

Impact Conceicao delivered the assist for Bremer's winner with a pinpoint cross that the center back headed home to open the scoring in the Serie A opener. The winger could have finished with a goal of his own as well and was Juventus's biggest offensive threat throughout, leading all players with four shots while completing three of four crosses and creating two chances.
