AI summary
Juventus's injury crisis deepened when Manuel Locatelli was ruled out for an extended spell after scans at J Medical revealed meniscus damage. The midfielder, who felt a knee twist during the Milan game, is expected to undergo surgery—likely in Lyon under the same surgeon who treated Thuram, Gatti and Bremer—with hopes of returning after November's international break.
Jeremie Boga's status remains uncertain pending final tests on a suspected hamstring strain. With Thuram unavailable until 2027 and Yildiz expected back only in late November, Spalletti faces a stretched midfield relying on Douglas Luiz and Koopmeiners, with Pape Sarr and academy prospect Augusto Owusu offering limited depth.
