Spalletti Says Yildiz Could Start as Juventus Chase UCL Comeback, Bremer a Doubt

Juventus must overturn a 5-2 first-leg loss on Wednesday after four defeats in five.

Overview

  • Juventus need to win by three goals to extend the tie against Galatasaray and by four to avoid a penalty shootout.
  • Kenan Yildiz is managing a bruised calf after the Como defeat, missed a recovery session, and is pushing to play with Spalletti indicating he could start.
  • Gleison Bremer remains a fitness risk, with a final assessment scheduled for the morning of the match.
  • The team has conceded 15 goals across the last five games and fell 2-0 to Como, leaving them outside the Serie A top four.
  • Cesare Prandelli voiced cautious optimism about a comeback if Juventus score early, and local reports refuted a claimed spat between Yildiz and Spalletti.
