Juventus host Parma at the Allianz Stadium on Saturday, aiming to kick off the Serie A season with back-to-back victories.
The Bianconeri began the new campaign strongly, edging Frosinone 1–0 in the opening match thanks to a match-winning strike by defender Gleison Bremer. That result followed a productive pre-season that featured notable wins over Chelsea and Palermo, and the team currently look well-organised and defensively solid under their tactical approach.
Juventus team news
Luciano Spalletti faces a key selection headache ahead of this eagerly awaited home fixture after several fitness setbacks.
Kenan Yıldız has suffered a serious foot injury in the Frosinone game and needs surgery, ruling him out for around two to three months and forcing tactical adjustments.
Midfielder Weston McKennie is definitely unavailable for this match with a persistent muscular problem. Khéphren Thuram’s involvement is uncertain and will depend on a late fitness check.
On the plus side, goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario has recovered from leg cramps and is set to start. Defenders Federico Gatti and Jeff Ekhator returned to full training during the week, strengthening defensive options.
Up front, Jeremie Boga and Kerim Alajbegovic are fully fit and ready to cover the absence of Yıldız for the weekend.
