Daniele Rugani - Suffers calf strain Rugani sustained a medium-grade right gastrocnemius lesion during Sunday's match versus Roma, Juventus communicated.

Impact Rugani recently missed four matches with a similar problem and will likely be sidelined for longer this time, as the issue is more severe. He usually serves as a deputy and a fill-in starter in the back. Gleison Bremer recently returned from injury, and Teun Koopmeiners might continue playing in such a role for depth purposes, as Juan Cabal (thigh) is hurt too.

Francisco Conceicao - Avoids big injuries Conceicao (thigh) took some tests after the Roma game, which ruled out substantial muscular problems, Juventus announced.

Impact Conceicao is considered day-to-day and could be able to recover for Saturday's match against Pisa, although it'll depend on how he responds to treatment and how much he manages to train during the week.

Arkadiusz Milik - Unused sub versus Roma Milik (knee/calf) didn't feature in Saturday's 2-1 win over Roma.

He'll deputize Lois Openda and Jonathan David going forward. He posted four goals, 37 shots and 15 key passes in 32 appearances (seven starts) in 2023/2024.

Teun Koopmeiners - Completes suspension Koopmeiners cleared a one-game ban in Saturday's 2-1 victory over Roma.

DECEMBER 21, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Bremer - Logs five clearances in Roma match Bremer won one of two tackles and registered two blocks, five clearances and one interception in Saturday's 2-1 win over Roma.

Impact Bremer was dominant in his return to the starting lineup after nearly two months, and his team conceded only after he subbed off because he ran out of gas. He might need to be managed at times amid a thick schedule following a knee injury, but he'll resume being the leader of the defense. He has posted multiple clearances in all his seven appearances, amassing 32 and adding six interceptions, four tackles (two won) and four blocks and helping keep two clean sheets.

DECEMBER 21, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

On the other hand, he didn't do much in other areas. He has posted at least one tackle in his last six starts, amassing 15 (six won) and adding six shots (three on target), four key passes and eight clearances over that span.

DECEMBER 20, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Kenan Yildiz - Creates two chances against Roma Yildiz drew five fouls and recorded two shots (zero on goal), two crosses (zero accurate) and two key passes in Saturday's 2-1 win versus Roma.

Impact Yildiz couldn't directly contribute to a goal for the first time in six matches, but he was active and picked up stats across the board on offense. He started the action that led to the opening goal with a lovely pass for Andrea Cambiaso, who then set up Francisco Conceicao, and came close to scoring in the second half, hitting the post with a curled shot. His string of games with at least one shot on target ended at seven. He has created at least one chance in his last 11 showings, racking up 24, and has had one or more crosses in every match.

Andrea Cambiaso - Dishes out helper in Roma clash Cambiaso assisted once to go with one shot (one on goal), one cross (zero accurate), five tackles (four won) and one chance created in Saturday's 2-1 win against Roma.

Impact Cambiaso set a new season high in tackles and tallied his third assist of the year with a pretty touch with the outside of his foot to set up Francisco Conceicao in the box. He has created at least one chance in six straight matches, piling up seven and also registering 13 crosses (five accurate), 11 tackles (nine won) and four shots (one on target). He maintained his season-long streak of games with at least one delivery despite the low output in such a stat in this one.

DECEMBER 20, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Weston McKennie - Provides assist against Roma McKennie assisted once to go with one shot (one on goal), two tackles (one won) and two chances created in Saturday's 2-1 win over Roma.

He has scored twice and dished out two helpers in the last six fixtures, adding seven shots (three on target), nine key passes and 17 clearances in that stretch.

DECEMBER 20, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Lois Openda - Strikes in Roma tilt Openda drew three fouls and scored one goal to go with two shots (one on target) and two chances created in Saturday's 2-1 victory against Roma.

Impact Openda got the call over Jonathan David, returning to the XI after four matches, was lively throughout the game and nudged it in the empty net on a generous feed by Weston McKennie in the second half, doubling his team's lead. It's his second goal of the season. He and Jonathan David will divvy up the minutes at the position for the foreseeable future, as Dusan Vlahovic (thigh) is out long-term. He has fired two shots in each of the last three matches (two on target), adding five key passes and four tackles (two won).

Michele Di Gregorio - Concedes once versus Roma Di Gregorio registered four saves and allowed one goal in Saturday's 2-1 win over Roma.

He has made at least three saves in his last four showings, totaling 15 and allowing three goals over that span. Up next, Juventus will face Pisa away Saturday.

Impact Conceicao broke the deadlock with a precise daisy-cutter from inside the box, scoring his first goal since October 1, but he bowed out a few minutes later, clutching the back of his thigh. He'll take tests in the coming days. Edon Zhegrova and Fabio Miretti would be candidates to take his place against Pisa next Saturday if he didn't recover.

Arkadiusz Milik - Earns bench role Milk (calf) is on the bench for Saturday's match against Roma.

Impact Milik is on the bench Saturday after some testing, overcoming the calf injury that has left him out, among other setbacks, since the start of the season. The hope will be that he can earn some time soon to test his legs, although a rotational option is likely the best he will do this campaign, missing all of last season through injury.

DECEMBER 20, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Juan Cabal - Absent versus Roma Cabal hasn't been selected for Saturday's game against Roma due to a muscular injury, Juventus informed.

Impact Cabal picked up an injury in training and will take more tests in the coming days to assess its severity and determine the timetable for his return. He was in the mix to replace Teun Koopmeiners (suspension). Gleison Bremer will likely be back in the XI following an injury, while Daniele Rugani will be the primary defensive deputy.
