Croatian Ivan Juric, the head coach of Atalanta, confirmed that facing Juventus in Serie A will be difficult, pointing out the necessity of humility and praising the abilities of Turkish talent Kenan Yildiz.

Juventus will host Atalanta on Saturday evening at 7 PM Cairo time at the Allianz Stadium as part of the fifth round of Serie A.

Juric said: "I expected to face a team with many options; facing Juventus will be tough, and we saw that in the friendly match during the summer. We want to give our best."

He spoke about the status of his injured players, confirming: "De Ketelaere will be available with us tomorrow, while we will assess the condition of others for the match on Tuesday against Club Brugge in the Champions League. As for Ederson, he may be present on Tuesday, but it needs evaluation. However, Lookman is training well, and we will gradually work on getting him back to full fitness."

Regarding striker Gianluca Scamacca, Juric clarified: "It's hard to pinpoint an exact date for his return; it's not easy for him, and I continue to urge him to work hard and give his best. We hope he returns soon."

Concerning the start of the season, the Atalanta coach said: "I am frustrated with the points we lost against Pisa because we were capable of winning, but since then, the team has become more offensively dynamic, and we want to continue on this path."

On evaluating the match against Juventus as a direct battle for the top four, Juric responded: "We must be humble; we are facing a team that possesses many technical solutions. At Atalanta, we have to think only about ourselves."

He added about the danger of Kenan Yildiz: "He always makes a difference; for me, he is a complete player, and we will have to do our utmost to stop him. Juventus has Conceição, Zigrova, Yildiz, and three other exceptional forwards; they have speed, technique, and many solutions. We must be ready defensively and offensively.
