Overview
- Juventus and Pafos enter the match level on six points, and a home win would strengthen the Bianconeri’s route to the February play-off phase.
- Gleison Bremer and Daniele Rugani have rejoined full training and could be named to the bench, with Kalulu, Kelly and Koopmeiners expected to start in defense.
- Spalletti trialed a 3-4-2-1 in training with David as the central striker supported by Yildiz and Conceicao, indicating a return to a fixed No. 9.
- Manuel Locatelli featured in the tested lineup after suggestions he might be rotated, with Thuram, McKennie and Cambiaso completing the midfield.
- Dusan Vlahovic remains unavailable through injury but visited the session to back the squad, and Pafos arrive as live opponents after beating Villarreal and drawing in Munich.
