Juventus continue to step up preparations at the Juventus training center ahead of the upcoming run of competitive fixtures. Important updates came from today's training session, with several players still following their respective recovery programs.

Pape Sarr is close to returning, while McKennie and Andrea Cambiaso continue to train separately — today's most important news came from Pape Sarr: the midfielder has taken a step closer to a full return and has resumed partial training with his teammates. Following injuries to Locatelli and Thuram, Spalletti now has another important option available. However, McKennie and Andrea Cambiaso will need to wait a little longer, as neither has returned to full team training and both are only carrying out individual sessions.

Schedule — there is little time left, and Juventus will face a packed fixture list ahead. At 3:45 a.m. Beijing time on Monday, Juventus will first travel away to face Sassuolo in Serie A. A few days later, they will begin their European campaign: at 4:00 a.m. Beijing time on Friday, Juventus will visit Dutch side NEC Nijmegen to start this season's Europa League journey. To go further while competing on two fronts, keeping the squad as complete as possible will be crucial.
