Vlahovic gives Juventus boost ahead of Bologna in Serie A | OneFootball

Dusan Vlahovic and Vasilije Adzic were both back in training with their Juventus teammates on Wednesday and should both be available for Thiago Motta for  Saturday’s upcoming Serie A match at home against Vincenzo Italiano’s Bologna.

Vlahovic and Adzic give Juventus double boost ahead of Bologna

According to reports from La Gazzetta dello Sport and others, both Vlahovic and Adzic were in full training at Continassa on Wednesday. The Serbian has not featured for the Bianconeri since the most recent international break, when he picked up an issue in a 0-0 draw with Denmark on November 18.

Vlahovic’s absence, coupled with the long-term injury to Arkadiusz Milik, means that Juventus have had to go without a recognised senior centre-forward for their last four matches in all competitions, including the 0-0 draw with Aston Villa in the Champions League.

Both he and Adzic are expected to be involved in the matchday squad against Bologna.

However, though they will be available, neither are guaranteed starters just yet. According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Vlahovic still needs to convince Motta in training that he is fully fit and match sharp after several weeks on the sidelines, while 18-year-old Adzic has never started for the Bianconeri first-team.

Even with the double boost received on Wednesday, Juventus still have a long injury list that also includes Nicolo Savona, Bremer, Juan Cabal, Douglas Luiz, Weston McKennie, Nico Gonzalez and Milik.
