13 Juventus players called up for October international break: Full fixture list revealed

Juventus manager Igor Tudor will be working with a decimated squad during the October international break, as 13 of his players have been called up for national duty.

Although they remain undefeated after eight fixtures across all competitions, the Bianconeri haven’t tasted victory in their last five outings, instead settling for draws.

But despite their concerning form in recent weeks, their players remain in high demand on the international stage, as more than half of the squad have received call-ups from their respective national teams.

11 Juventus players will take part in the European World Cup qualifiers

The majority of these players will take part in the European qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup. This includes the Italian duo of Manuel Locatelli and Andrea Cambiaso. The Azzurri will play Estonia and Israel in their next two outings. It should be noted that Federico Gatti has been snubbed by Gennaro Gattuso, having been part of his squad in the previous international break.

Khephren Thuram will also represent France in the European qualifiers, and the same goes for the Serbian duo, Filip Kostic and Dusan Vlahovic, as well as Edon Zhegrova and Vasilije Adzic who will play for Montenegro and Kosova, respectively.

Unsurprisingly, Kenan Yildiz has been selected by Vincenzo Montella to join the Turkish national team, while Francisco Conceicao is part of the star-studded Portugal team. Despite his slow start to life at Juventus, Loic Openda still received a call from Belgium.

Teun Koopmeiners completes the European block, as he became the latest player selected by Ronald Koeman. The Juventus midfielder was chosen as a late replacement for Quinten Timber, who picked up an injury.

McKennie & David will play friendlies for USA & Canada

The United States and Canada have already booked their places in the World Cup as the host nations alongside Mexico, but they will take part in preparatory friendlies. Therefore, Weston McKennie and Jonathan David have also been called up for international duty.
