According to Tuttosport, Igor Tudor is considering starting Vasilije Adzic from the first minute in the match against Atalanta. The matchwinner of Juve-Inter could therefore be a surprise in the starting eleven.

The Juventus coach is tempted by the change also due to a Koopmeiners “still a far cry from the one seen in the years at Bergamo,” writes the newspaper.

Adrien Rabiot shared his feelings with SportMediaset ahead of Milan-Napoli: “Surely it’s an important game. It’s not the most important match of the season, but it’s important in terms of motivation.”

On the title race, he added: “We’ll see in February, March where we are. There are strong teams, like Napoli who won last year. We will fight to do our best, I promise that.”

According to Sky Sport, Cristian Chivu is preparing a surprise in the lineup against Cagliari: Dumfries might rest, with Matteo Darmian ready to take his place.

Sommer returns in goal, while Josep Martinez goes to the bench. Lautaro Martinez has recovered from his back pain and will start alongside Thuram.

Alessandro Buongiorno continues to deal with muscle problems. As reported by Il Mattino, the defender has had a long discussion with Antonio Conte about a targeted recovery plan.

The strategy is clear: return to the group only when the risk of relapse is minimized, even if it means extending the timeline.

The recovery times for Dybala and Bailey are extending. As reported by Corriere dello Sport, Gasperini clarified: “I would say after the break.”

Bailey risks up to 60 days of stoppage due to a rectus femoris injury, while Dybala, sidelined with a thigh muscle issue, will also miss games against Lille and Fiorentina.

Lazio hopes to make moves in January. Il Messaggero explains that Lotito aims to obtain a previous credit exceeding ten million euros to meet economic parameters.

If successful, the club would no longer be bound to a zero-balance market and the sporting director Fabiani would have real margins to strengthen Sarri’s squad.

FIFA has sanctioned Cluj by banning them from transfers due to debts related to the sale of Louis Munteanu. Fiorentina has indeed urged the payment of the current installment of 400,000 euros, according to Gsp.ro.

President Ioan Varga explained that the agreement with the Viola is close and that another 1.6 million remains to be settled in the future. Meanwhile, Munteanu could leave in January: “Ajax and Valencia are willing to pay 15-17 million plus bonuses,” Varga stated.
