Fabrizio Ravanelli reveals how Juventus can maintain a Scudetto title charge | OneFootball

Fabrizio Ravanelli believes Juventus can challenge for the league title if they remain in contention until their injured key players return from long term injuries.

The Bianconeri have been hit by injuries since the beginning of the season, with Kenan Yildiz, Manuel Locatelli and Khephren Thuram all undergoing surgery, leaving the club without three important players for extended periods. Two of them are not expected to play for Juventus again this year, although Yildiz could return around November.

The injuries have limited how well Juventus can perform, while the club cannot simply replace every player who is unavailable. Their priority, therefore, will be to continue collecting points until their injured players are able to return.

Juventus Must Stay in the Race

If Juventus can remain close to the teams competing for the league title, the return of their injured players could give them another boost. Their absences have reduced the options available to the team, making it more difficult for the Bianconeri to maintain consistent performances.

Ravanelli believes Juventus need to avoid falling too far behind before their key players return. If they can continue to pick up results and remain in contention, he feels they could have an opportunity to compete for the title when their squad becomes stronger.

The injured players are important members of the Juventus team, so their return should provide the club with greater depth and quality. Their availability could therefore have a significant impact on the team’s performances during the latter part of the season.

Ravanelli Backs Juventus

Ravanelli believes Juventus can remain competitive despite their current injury problems. He feels that avoiding a significant loss of ground before the injured players return could leave them in a strong position to challenge.

He said via Tuttomercatoweb:

“But I also believe that if Juventus manages to lose a few points between now and the time they recover the injured players, they can have their say all the way.”

Juventus will therefore need to manage the difficult period carefully while waiting for their injured stars to return. If they remain within reach of the leaders, the return of those players could strengthen their squad at an important stage of the campaign.

The Bianconeri have already had to cope with significant absences, but staying in contention would give them the opportunity to compete strongly once their squad is closer to full strength.
