In a boost for Juventus ahead of their crucial UEFA Champions League match against Manchester City, Brazilian midfielder Douglas Luiz has returned to full training with the squad.
The 26-year-old, who has been sidelined due to injury, was observed training with the group, signaling his readiness for the upcoming encounter.
According to reports, Douglas Luiz has been under the careful eye of Juventus coach Thiago Motta, who seems confident that the midfielder will be available for selection.
In addition to Luiz’s return, there’s optimism surrounding another Juventus player, Weston McKennie. The American midfielder is also on the mend and could potentially make his way back into the team for the high-stakes Champions League game.
The return of both players could not come at a better time as Juventus looks to leverage their squad depth against a formidable Manchester City side.
This match is pivotal for Juventus, not only for their standing in the Champions League but also for the morale of the team which has been dealing with several injury concerns throughout the season.
Juventus fans and the coaching staff are hopeful that the presence of both Luiz and McKennie will add the needed tactical versatility and strength in the midfield to challenge Manchester City’s dynamic play.
The team will continue their preparations, with the final training sessions before the game expected to be crucial in assessing the players’ fitness levels and game readiness.
As Juventus gears up for this significant fixture, the focus will undoubtedly be on how these returning players integrate back into the team’s strategy, potentially making a difference in what promises to be an electrifying match at the Allianz Stadium.
