Milik is currently technically fit, but Juventus also signed Nick Woltemade as an attacking reinforcement on deadline day, meaning that they would not count on Milik at least for the first half of the campaign.

What happened
Juventus have officially omitted Marcus Thuram and Arkadiusz Milik from their Serie A squad registration. The decision likely reflects ongoing fitness concerns for both forwards, who have struggled with injuries this season. Their absence from the squad list means they are unavailable for selection in domestic league matches, placing additional pressure on Juventus' remaining attacking options. The club will need to navigate the remainder of the campaign without two of their registered strikers.
Chance analysis
Losing Thuram and Milik from the registered squad is a meaningful blow to Juventus' attacking depth, particularly given their injury histories this season. With two of their forward options now unavailable for Serie A fixtures, the burden on the remaining attackers increases considerably. The club may need to rely on younger players or adjust their tactical approach in front of goal. It also raises questions about Juventus' January planning, as they may look to the transfer market to reinforce a now-thinner attacking line.
Juventus lose two registered forwards for Serie A matches, weakening their attacking depth and increasing reliance on remaining options.
