Three Juventus stars did not join group training ahead of AC Milan match | OneFootball

Juventus are preparing for their game against AC Milan this weekend, but the Bianconeri could be without three players for the fixture, apart from their long-term absentees.

The Old Lady have some of the best players in Serie A in their current squad, so they know they can beat any team in the division. However, they must show that quality on the pitch, especially in a difficult match against AC Milan.

Juventus have been troubled by injuries at the start of the season, and their fitness problems are not slowing down. The players at the Allianz Stadium did not all take part in full training during their latest session, leaving the club with concerns ahead of the important fixture.

Juventus monitor three fitness concerns

Tuttomercatoweb claims that the Bianconeri were without Pape Matar Sarr, Andrea Cambiaso and Weston McKennie during the latest training session, with all three players following specialised programmes.

The trio are recovering from minor injuries, and the Old Lady will now hope to have at least one of them available for the match against AC Milan. Their absences from full training will give the medical staff and coaching team another decision to make before the fixture.

Sarr could be the player most likely to return, but Juventus will not want to rush him after his recent arrival. The Bianconeri will first want to make sure he is fit enough before increasing his workload and considering him for a starting role.

McKennie’s return would boost Juve

McKennie missed Juventus’ last match, and the Bianconeri would be pleased to have him available against AC Milan. He is one of their most reliable players, so his return would give the Old Lady another dependable option for a difficult fixture.

Juventus still have time to assess the players before the game, and the club will hope their fitness situations improve. With several players already absent, having Sarr, Cambiaso or McKennie available could prove important.

For now, the Bianconeri must manage their squad carefully while waiting for further updates. A return for even one of the three players would strengthen Juventus ahead of a match in which they will need their strongest possible squad.
