Juventus will be getting a much-needed boost for their crucial match against Monza tomorrow. According to Max Allegri, Paul Pogba and Dusan Vlahovic have recovered from their injuries and should be available for the match. This is a huge boost for a side that needs its star players back.
Pogba is still waiting to make his debut for the team. He had a procedure on his knee in September and hasn’t played since. Vlahovic has also been out for a while, too. He was injured against Benfica in a Champions League matchup. It’s unlikely that either player breaks into the starting lineup tomorrow. Instead, the will most likely come off the bench early in the second half.
Juventus has struggled this season with injuries. Many of the first-team players have been knocked up at some point this season. Now, it seems as though Juventus is getting closer to full strength at a crucial time in the season. Even Juan Cuadrado and Leonardo Bonnuci are slowly progressing toward a full recovery. There is little doubt that Juventus has one of the strongest sides in Italian football when they are fully healthy.
The returns of Paul Pogba and Dusan Vlahovic are huge for a Juventus side that can’t afford any mistakes if they want to play European football next year.
Juventus currently sits in 9th place in Serie A. The Bianconeri will be looking to string together a number of victories to try and climb back into the conversation for European football. With the return of these two-star players and the return to the form of Federico Chiesa, the team will have most of its strongest players back on the pitch which will help them in their fight to move up the table.
