While the majority of our top stars have returned from their respective injuries, Juventus are still missing two of their biggest assets. Dusan Vlahovic has been dealing with a groin pain for several months, while Paul Pogba is yet to make his re-debut following his return to Turin last July.

But according to Max Allegri, the midfielder and the striker should be a part of the matchday squad which will host Monza next Sunday.

While this surely is a delightful news for the Bianconeri supporters, it seems that the two players’ conditions remain in doubt. Therefore, the manager explains that the duo will be tested on the training ground on Thursday in order to evaluate their fitness ahead of the weekend encounter.

“On Sunday we will have Pogba and Vlahovic available. But we will also test them on Thursday,” said Allegri in his post-match interview following the 3-3 draw against Atalanta, as reported by ilBianconero.

Juve FC say

Having Pogba and Vlahovic in the squad would be a pleasant sight following their lengthy absence. So let’s hope that they prove their fitness during the week and receive some playing time against Monza.

Nonetheless, the two stars will have to earn a starting spot by proving their worth for the team and justify the merit over their teammates. For instance, Arek Milik is proving to be a wonderful target man, so Vlahovic will have to regain his optimal form in order to prompt  his selection ahead of the Pole.
