Last week, Max Allegri welcomed some of his Juventus players to training, at least those who did not participate in the World Cup or are currently injured.
In the coming days, the manager could also welcome the likes of Paul Pogba and Juan Cuadrado if they manage to recover from their injuries.
Besides, the young Samuel Iling-Junior could return this Wednesday injured.
According to Ilbianconero, Allegri has now decided to promote the Englishman to the senior team permanently.
The 19-year-old seized the opportunity amid the club’s injury crisis in October, impressing in back-to-back outings against Benfica and Lecce before his momentum was halted by an ankle injury.
However, it seems that the coaching staff have seen enough and are now convinced that the young winger can play a significant role in the busy schedule that lies ahead after the winter break, perhaps rotating with Filip Kostic.
Iling-Junior began his playing career at Chelsea but the bianconeri managed to wrest his services from him in 2020.
After spending two years at Primavera, the teenager was promoted to Juventus Next Gen last summer, but it seems that his time with Massimo Brambilla’s squad has been cut short by another promotion.
The management was also working on renewing the player’s contract which will expire at the end of the season.
