All this and much more. Let’s take a look at today’s news together.

😱 Juventus, is Conte a possibility?

Antonio Conte is keeping an eye on the situation at Juventus. After the defeat to Sassuolo, the former coach’s name is once again doing the rounds in the background, with Luciano Spalletti inevitably coming under scrutiny. Conte is not used to taking over in the middle of a season, but Juventus could be an exception because of his strong ties to the club, at least according to Gazzetta dello Sport.

For now, however, Spalletti is not in danger and the club does not seem inclined to change manager after just four matchdays. A possible return for Conte would also be complicated financially. So there are no negotiations, but the situation is still worth monitoring.

🔄 Milan, what changes against Benfica?

Ruben Amorim had already announced it: this will be a month focused on rotation, with the aim of giving everyone game time. “It’s not possible to get through a season with 11 or 14 players, we have to manage the rotations well,” the coach reiterated on the eve of Milan-Benfica. And the signs confirm his intentions: in training he tested an unusual lineup, with Terracciano and Hutchinson among the possible surprise starters.

The changes also concern the attacking midfield area, where Cissé and Hutchinson were tried together, while in central midfield Jashari should return to the starting lineup alongside Musah, with Modric and Rabiot heading for the bench. Out wide there should be room for Chukwueze and Bartesaghi, while at the back Mario Gila could be rested: Terracciano is the favorite to replace him, with Tomori still lower down the pecking order. A series of experiments that reflects Amorim’s desire to spread minutes and responsibility across the squad.

🤕 Inter, Spence’s return delayed again

Excitement is growing at Inter over the debut of Djed Spence, but the Nerazzurri fans and Cristian Chivu will have to wait a little longer. The English wing-back has still not managed to take the field because of some physical issues. According to the latest reports, his return has been pushed back once again.

The medical and coaching staff have chosen to proceed with maximum caution to avoid any setbacks and, barring surprises, the wide player should be fully available again after the October international break. A significant absence for Chivu, but the goal is to have a player who is completely recovered and ready to make his contribution on the flank.

💪 Napoli, three returns for Allegri

After the international break, Allegri should get back three important players for his Napoli, who are dealing with a long injury list. According to the Corriere dello Sport, Anguissa could already be available again for the away match against Fiorentina, while Meret and Marianucci are expected to return for the October 10 clash at the Maradona against Frosinone.

The return of Marianucci, sidelined since the summer with a medial collateral ligament injury in his left knee, would provide an important extra option for Allegri’s defense, while waiting for Buongiorno to recover, which will still take a few more months. After the break, Giovane should also return, having undergone surgery for an inguinal hernia.

🤩 Roma at full strength against Inter

Good news for Gasperini ahead of the clash with Inter. Ndicka and Wesley have recovered from their respective issues and will be fully available for Saturday’s big match at the Olimpico. The Ivorian, coming off a bout of flu, should reclaim his place in the heart of defense, while the Brazilian is ready to return on the left flank.

Gasperini is therefore heading toward a full-strength Roma for the most eagerly awaited match. In midfield, Manu Koné is also expected to return to the starting lineup, while Lorenzo Pellegrini should begin on the bench again as he continues his comeback after the break. On the right, meanwhile, the battle between Molina and Lulli remains open.

🔥 Lazio, an embarrassment of riches ahead of Venezia!

After saying goodbye to last season’s starting pair, Lazio have rediscovered depth and competition at the heart of defense. As reported by the Corriere dello Sport, Gattuso can count on four center-backs for two spots: in the first official outings, Danilho Doekhi and Oliver Provstgaard have seen playing time, also starring in the two clean sheets against Bologna and Genoa.

Behind them, Diogo Leite and Josip Sutalo are ready to fight for their chances. The Portuguese defender, who arrived in the final hours of the transfer window, is especially pushing Provstgaard for the left center-back role, while the Croatian impressed on his debut against Milan and is aiming for confirmation. Ahead of the away trip to Venezia, Doekhi is expected to grit his teeth despite the brace on his operated hand, while Sutalo hopes to start again.

🧤 Fiorentina, a signing for the future

Fiorentina are looking to the future and have completed a deal for Nikodem Licznerski, a Polish goalkeeper born in 2010 from FASE Szczecin. The young shot-stopper has signed a three-year contract, with an option for a fourth season, confirming the Viola club’s desire to invest in a highly promising profile for their youth sector.

Licznerski, only sixteen, will naturally need time to complete his development and settle into Italian football. FASE Szczecin bid farewell to the goalkeeper with a message on its channels, thanking him for the journey they shared and wishing him the best for his new adventure in Italy.
