Dusan Vlahovic has returned to the Juventus squad for the first time in more than 100 days after passing a late fitness test. Khephren Thuram is also back in the group, while Edon Zhegrova has been included despite fresh muscle fatigue concerns. Vlahovic felt discomfort in final training and needed a decisive check on matchday before being cleared for selection. Thuram recovered enough after his recent ankle issue, while Zhegrova remains under close medical supervision and may only be fit enough for a place on the bench.

Juventus have been handed encouraging updates on Khephren Thuram and Dusan Vlahovic, with Thuram pushing to start again and Vlahovic nearing his first minutes after a long absence. Both developments offer a timely boost as Juventus look to maintain momentum. Thuram’s ankle bruise has reportedly settled, with swelling almost gone and a return to the squad expected at Continassa. Vlahovic is improving under a managed workload programme and may be limited to a short cameo, while his unresolved contract situation continues to hover in the background.

Atalanta sack Ivan Jurić, Palladino in advanced talks

After two wins in 11 and a 3–0 home loss to Sassuolo, Atalanta dismissed Jurić five months into the job. Talks with Palladino are advanced as the club moves to arrest form slide and stabilise an incoherent press and fragile defensive shape. Palladino’s compact mid-block and direct transitions suit a rapid reset. Early tasks: restore rest-defence, redefine roles for ball-winners and carriers, and prioritise points over aesthetics pre-January. Staff alignment and a trimmed rotation will determine the speed of uplift.

Atalanta line up Palladino as Juric edges toward dismissal

After a damaging 3–0 home defeat to Sassuolo and growing friction with ownership and fans, Juric is close to the exit. Atalanta have advanced talks with Palladino as they seek to salvage a faltering league run and stuttering European campaign. Results, style drift, and dressing-room temperature accelerated the rethink. Palladino’s compact mid-block and fast-break model appeals for immediate stabilisation, but compensation, staff reshaping, and January squad trimming will dictate how fast the handover translates to points.

Sassuolo have signed Nemanja Matic on a free transfer until 2026, with an option for an extra year. The veteran Serbian midfielder returns to Serie A following spells at Roma and Lyon after mutually terminating his French contract.
