While the likes of Federico Chiesa and Paul Pogba remain long-term absentees, Max Allegri should be able to count on more players following the international, unless others end up having problems with their national teams (as usual).
According to Corriere di Torino via TuttoJuve, three Juventus players will make their respective injured returns in the next ten days.
The players in question are veteran left-back Alex Sandro, as well as the midfield duo of Manuel Locatelli and Adrien Rabiot.
These returns should be a boost to the recently depleted team. For example, the coach failed to introduce game-changing substitutions during the embarrassing loss in Monza, which, of course, should not serve as an alibi.

While Sandro’s return will surely not excite fans too much, it will at least offer more options in the back. Mattia De Sciglio has been slightly better than the Brazilian, but his performances are by no means impressive.
As for Allegri, he will be particularly eager for the return of Rabiot, one of his favorite students. For better or worse, we can expect the Frenchman to return to the starting line-up as soon as he regains his fitness.
Finally, Locatelli is currently in a tricky spot. While the arrival of Leandro Paredes relieved him of his Regista duties, the Italian could find it difficult to carve out a starting role as a box-to-box midfielder, especially after the emergence of young compatriot Fabio Miretti.
