Edon Zhegrova, the young Kosovar midfielder, is gaining ground in the Juventus squad, with coach Luciano Spalletti seriously considering his first start. After showing quality performances against Sassuolo and Atalanta, where he also provided the assist for Bremer, Zhegrova has shown that he is a player ready to contribute to the club's success. His experience with the Kosovo national team and the recent reserve match against Cagliari have further strengthened his candidacy for the starting shirt, with the match against Lazio representing his first in Serie A.
Meanwhile, Juventus receives positive news regarding the return of Jeremie Boga. The striker, who suffered a right hamstring injury, returned to work with the group after his recovery period. Spalletti expressed hope that Boga will be ready for Saturday's match at the Allianz Stadium, although prudence could postpone his return to the European match on 22 October against Rennes. With the arrival of Boga, Spalletti will also be able to give a chance to Jeff Ekhator, who will need at least ten days of recovery before returning to the pitch.
Other key players are expected to return to action before the match against Lazio: Bremer and Lucumi, both defenders, Douglas Luiz in midfield and Randal Kolo Muani in attack. The composition of the team will also depend on the energy spent in the previous match against Celta, which will influence the final choice of the eleven to be fielded against Gennaro Gattuso's team. Spalletti said he wanted to carefully evaluate the physical form and availability of all the players before defining the final lineup.
In summary, Juventus is working to consolidate their squad in view of the next matches, with Zhegrova getting closer to her debut in Serie A and Boga preparing to return to the pitch. Coach Spalletti, with his experience and ability to manage the club's resources, is ready to make the most of his players' potential to face the next matches, both in the league and in European competitions.
