Latest Juventus team news: Alajbegovic and Thuram

Luciano Spalletti will welcome back 12 Juventus international players to Continassa this week. As reported by Gazzetta, Bosnia and Herzegovina talent Alajbegovic will undergo medical tests on Wednesday after missing his national team’s 1-0 win over Poland on Monday.

The 19-year-old was subbed off during a game against Sweden last week, but although Bosnia said it was a precautionary measure, Juventus medical staff want to assess the youngster to rule out any underlying issue, Gazzetta and Sky Sport report.

At the same time, Juventus midfielder Thuram has flown to Lyon, France, where he’ll continue working on his recovery after undergoing knee surgery at the start of September.

According to Sky, Thuram will work in a specialist centre for the next two weeks. The chondroplasty procedure was also performed in Lyon this past September, and Thuram remains unlikely to feature again for Juventus until January 2027.
