Juventus will visit Sardinia this Saturday to face Cagliari in their Serie A Matchday 21 game. 

Coach Luciano Spalletti is eager to keep his team’s positive momentum going and improve their standing in Serie A. Meanwhile, Cagliari sits in 16th place and desperately needs points to avoid falling into the relegation zone.

Juventus team news

Juventus is concerned about the fitness of star player Kenan Yildiz, who missed practice on Thursday due to mild flu symptoms. However, he is expected to recover in time for the trip to Sardinia. Dusan Vlahovic and Daniele Rugani are still out with injuries, but Federico Gatti is recovering from a meniscus issue and may join the squad, though it is unlikely he will start.

Francisco Conceicao has returned to training after a minor thigh problem and might get some playing time off the bench to regain his match fitness ahead of his game against Benfica next week. He could also start if Yildiz is not fit or if a transfer occurs.

Jonathan David, a Canadian forward who joined from Lille last summer, has been performing better recently and is likely to remain a key player. In early January, Spalletti mentioned that no new signings were expected during the transfer window, as he is happy with the current squad. However, interest from top European clubs in Yildiz could change things quickly.
