Vlahovic doubtful for Juventus derby as Yildiz is ruled out
Quick summary
Juventus go into the derby against Torino with Kenan Yildiz already ruled out and Dusan Vlahovic doubtful because of an adductor issue. The absences add to Juventus' problems ahead of a must-win final-round match.
What happened
Kenan Yildiz has been ruled out of Juventus' derby against Torino with a calf strain, while Dusan Vlahovic is also a doubt due to an adductor problem. The report says Juventus will try to have Vlahovic available, but he may not be ready to start. If he misses out, Jonathan David is expected to lead the attack, with Jeremie Boga and Francisco Conceicao likely alongside him. Juventus also have other fitness and availability concerns, including Gleison Bremer's suspension and Khephren Thuram not being fully fit, before a match that could affect their Champions League hopes.
Chance analysis
This matters because Juventus may be without two important attacking options in a high-pressure derby where they likely need a win. Yildiz being out and Vlahovic being uncertain weakens their attacking ceiling, continuity, and late-game threat, while also increasing reliance on less established combinations. The added defensive and midfield fitness concerns further raise lineup volatility.
