Latest updates on Juventus injuries ahead of Fiorentina clash

Juventus have received updates on the status of their injured players ahead of the upcoming clash against ACF Fiorentina, as coach Luciano Spalletti continues to deal with a significant list of absentees within the squad.

According to Sky Sports, Turkish star Kenan Yıldız is expected to return to the pitch at the beginning of December, while midfield captain Manuel Locatelli will be out for a longer period, with his return set for 2027 following surgery on his meniscus.

Khéphren Thuram is expected to return in early 2027 after undergoing knee surgery, marking another significant blow to Juventus' midfield in the coming period.

In contrast, forecasts indicate that Nico González is expected to return after the international break, while the conditions of Francisco Conceição and Zeki Çelik are still being assessed ahead of the match against ACF Fiorentina, amid attempts to determine the extent of their potential participation.

Spalletti hopes to recover as many of his players as possible after the international break, given the congested fixture schedule and Juventus's need for all their options in the upcoming phase.
