Juventus faced mixed news from their morning training session ahead of the highly anticipated Derby d’Italia against Inter Milan, scheduled for Sunday at the Allianz Stadium.
Brazilian midfielder Douglas Luiz will miss the crucial match against Inter due to muscle fatigue experienced during yesterday’s training session. His condition will be further evaluated, with concerns extending to his availability for the upcoming Champions League playoff return leg against PSV Eindhoven.
In another setback, recent signing Lloyd Kelly was absent from today’s training due to gastrointestinal issues. His participation in Sunday’s match remains uncertain.
However, there was a positive development for manager Thiago Motta as Andrea Cambiaso rejoined the group training. The versatile wing-back, sidelined since January 25 with an ankle injury sustained in the match against Napoli, has recovered and will be available for selection against Inter.
These injury updates add an extra layer of intrigue to an already highly anticipated match between the two Italian giants. Juventus will need to adapt their lineup and strategy in the absence of Douglas Luiz, while hoping for Kelly’s quick recovery. Cambiaso’s return provides a timely boost to the squad’s options as they prepare to face the league leaders.
