There are several players who, due to injury or, in the case of Lookman, for other reasons, are not contributing to the cause but who when they return can heavily shift the balances. Below is an overview of potentially decisive returns.

LUKAKU - NAPOLI

Big Rom stopped at the end of July bringing the arrival of Hojlund with Lucca as his sidekick. The problem for a colossus like the Belgian is serious and indeed the timing is long. However, the season is also endless, so watch out for the surprise weapon from 2026.

Conte will likely recover his most important player for the first matches of the new year and the Belgian, barring setbacks, will then try to regain his place in a healthy competition with Hojlund that can only do good for Napoli.

LOOKMAN - ATALANTA

Of the expected returns, it is the most complicated but also the most immediate. Ademola Lookman, in total rupture with PSG, should soon be available to Atalanta to give his contribution which, on the green rectangle, has always been huge.

And from January? The future remains an unsolvable puzzle: it's hard to think that someone can pay so much for him in winter and the Dea's mission will be to recover him.

JASHARI - MILAN

Arrived at Milan after a chase lasting months and after a figure paid close to 40 million euros, Ardon Jashari immediately fractured his fibula, not allowing Allegri his gradual inclusion in the rotations.

The quality of the former Bruges player, although to be tested in Italy, is not disputed and therefore Milan could have an important weapon with his return expected at the end of October.

BAILEY - ROMA

The offensive winger of flair and quality so desired by Gasperini never had available: Leon Bailey will be enlistable for Roma from the beginning of October and his quality could give very valid alternatives to the Giallorossi.

Strongly wanted by Gasp, watch out for his extreme quality capable of breaking the games.

DIAO - COMO

Assane Diao, arrived last January at Como to literally break the Serie A, is experiencing a very unlucky moment. Two injuries and a return that slips until late autumn and an Africa Cup that will keep him out in January.

However, watch out for the games in which he will be: Como could raise an already incredibly high level even more.
