Juventus injuries limit squad options ahead of Serie A trip to Sassuolo

Juventus faces a depleted roster for Sunday's Serie A match against Sassuolo at Mapei Stadium. Players Weston McKennie and Andrea Cambiaso continue to miss training due to ongoing injuries, making their availability for the upcoming fixture unlikely. Midfielder Pape Matar Sarr participated in partial squad training on Thursday, representing the only potential recovery among the three previously sidelined players. Manager Luciano Spalletti currently has only Douglas Luiz and Teun Koopmeiners available as senior team midfielders. To address the lack of depth caused by these absences and the long-term injury to captain Manuel Locatelli, Next Gen midfielder Agosto Owusu is expected to join the squad. This match marks the beginning of a congested period for the club, which includes a Europa League opener against NEC and a contest against Atalanta before the international break.
