Juventus, Sarr towards his first call-up to Mapei.

Why it matters

Sarr's call-up for the match against Sassuolo represents an important opportunity for the young Juventus player to demonstrate his value in a high-pressure context such as Serie A. His presence could be crucial for coach Allegri, especially at a time when the team is facing various uncertainties related to injuries.

Key points

  • Juventus, Sarr towards his first call-up to Mapei.
  • Some updates from the Juventus infirmary concern the players Sarr and McKennie.
  • Juventus, Sarr about to be called up to Mapei for the first time. Pessimism for McKennie.
Juventus is preparing for Sunday's away match against Sassuolo. The match will be played at the Mapei stadium, and for many players it will be a return to the pitch after the international break. Among these, one of the most anticipated is certainly Nabil Fekir, who will be at Mister Allegri's disposal for the first time for an official match. Furthermore, Dusan Vlahovic should also be present, after missing the last league match against Inter due to a muscle problem.

For Vlahovic, however, there are still doubts and his presence on the pitch is not entirely certain. According to what reported by Tuttosport, Vlahovic will carry out a test today to see if he will be available for Sunday's match. If he doesn't make it, coach Allegri should opt for Moise Kean as central striker.

However, there are also other situations to monitor. Another player who is back from injury and could return is Denis Zakaria. The Swiss midfielder, who is owned by Juventus but currently plays on loan at Chelsea, has been called up for Sunday's match against Manchester United after missing out on recent matches due to a physical problem.

At Juventus it is hoped that Weston McKennie's injury is not serious. The American was injured during the match against Ghana, in which he played 70 minutes.

According to the latest news, McKennie has already returned to Turin to undergo the necessary investigations.

Allegri hopes to be able to have the player already for Sunday's match, but there are strong doubts and it is a situation to be monitored.

Finally, again according to Tuttosport, there is great anticipation to see goalkeeper Mattia Sarr on the pitch for the first time, who was purchased from Juventus in the summer, but has not yet had the opportunity to make his debut.

Sarr has been called up for Sunday's match, and if all goes well, he should be in the starting lineup. Juventus' starting goalkeeper, Wojciech Szczesny, has suffered a slight physical problem and is not sure if he will be able to be present for Sunday's match.

What happens now

With McKennie a doubt for the match, Juventus will have to adapt their strategy. If Sarr were to take the field, he could be called upon to cover a key role in midfield, while Allegri will also evaluate other options such as the insertion of Moise Kean in attack, depending on Vlahovic's condition.
