Spalletti: Juventus recovered nobody ahead of Milan

Luciano Spalletti said Juventus recovered nobody ahead of the Serie A meeting with Milan. Cabal, Cambiaso, Sarr and McKennie remain out, along with Ekhator and, in his words, obviously Thuram and Yildiz.

The manager's line, circulated in Portuguese and Italian match coverage quoting the same briefing, left little room for a late surprise. He added that the club hopes to get one or two of them back next week. That is a hope, not a medical clearance.

What Italian reporting has attached to the names

Gazzetta dello Sport, relayed by Juventus-facing accounts, put ranges on part of the list: Juan Cabal facing about a month out, Ekhator looking at 45 to 50 days, McKennie dealing with persistent muscle fatigue, Sarr still recovering from a muscle problem picked up while at Tottenham, and Cambiaso with a sprained ankle. Those three were flagged as doubts for Milan before Spalletti's broader nobody recovered line.

The confirmed public statement is Spalletti's: no returns in this camp, seven names still unavailable, a possible one or two next week. Treat social claims of a surprise start as unverified until the official squad sheet.

Where to watch

Juventus's Serie A matches are shown by the licensed rightsholder in each market. No new broadcast details came with the injury briefing, so check the official listing before kick-off.

The question for Juventus vs Milan is not a predicted XI. It is whether the full-back and midfield names on that list appear on the team sheet at all. Spalletti has already answered that for this match: they do not.
