In recent weeks, Max Allegri has been training with the remnants of his Juventus squad as the World Cup players gradually return to Turin.
Additionally, the team still suffers from various injury setbacks with a large number of players sustaining various blows.
On Thursday, Juventus will play Rijeka in a friendly behind closed doors at the Allianz Stadium. This meeting could count on the return of Filip Kostic, Arek Milik and Wojciech Szczesny.
But according to Gazzetta dello Sport, next week will be important for Juventus. While the Brazilian trio of Danilo, Bremer and Alex Sandro will rejoin the team, others will be closely monitored.
The team will resume training on December 27. At that time Juan Cuadrado and Paul Pogba are scheduled to undergo personalized training regimens.
As for Federico Chiesa and Dusan Vlahovic, the medical staff will evaluate their conditions before giving them the green light to resume training with the rest of the squad.
Meanwhile, Leonardo Bonucci is targeting a comeback against Cremonese on January 4, which will be the club’s first official match after the restart.
Finally, three World Cup finalists (Ángel Di María, Leandro Paredes and Adrien Rabiot) must return between December 29 and 30.
Although they won’t be taking part in the friendly against Standard Liège (30 December), this could be an opportunity for the club to recognize their achievements in front of the Allianz crowd.
