Overview

• Allegri prepares a pace-focused Milan setup for Juventus, leaning on Pulisic and Saelemaekers with Nkunku as an impact option, while Tomori remains a doubt and Gimenez is favored to partner up front.
• Juventus seek a reset after four straight draws and 11 goals conceded in five league games, with Tudor weighing Openda from the start, a Vlahovic rotation, and a likely bench role for Koopmeiners.
• Bremer is expected to rejoin full training and could start in Juventus’ back line, while Khephren Thuram is still being evaluated for a return to the midfield alongside Locatelli and McKennie.
• Sinner begins his Shanghai Masters title defense on Saturday against Daniel Altmaier after an extra rest day, noting hotter, more humid conditions and limited practice time compared with Beijing.
• Alcaraz’s withdrawal from Shanghai opens a ranking window for Sinner, who can cut the gap and potentially move briefly to No. 1 depending on results in Shanghai and Vienna; elsewhere, Lazio face fresh injury setbacks to Marusic and Pellegrini ahead of Torino.
