Juventus VS Turin injury crisis! Vlahovich muscle mystery

The injury storm before the Turin Derby

At 1 a.m. on November 9, the Turin Derby will be staged in the 11th round of Serie A. Juventus will face its city rival Turin at home. This game is not only a battle of city honors, but also a "medical room derby" - a total of 12 people from both sides have entered the injured list, including many core players.

Juventus: The striker alarm sounds

The most worrying thing for the Bianconeri is the muscle injury of forward Dusan Vlahovic (status unknown). Although the team's top scorer (3 goals) only started 5 times this season, he scored a goal every 166 minutes, with a shot-on-target rate of 39.1%. If he is absent, it will greatly weaken the team's finishing ability.

The defense is the hardest hit area: main center back Grayson Bremer (knee injury) has contributed 2 assists and 86% pass success rate in 4 starts this season; left back Lloyd Kelly (back injury) has played in 9 games, completing 34 clearances and 13 steals. Their absence may allow goalkeeper M. Gregorio (17 saves) to face more threats.

Turin: The goalkeeper crisis worsens

For Turin, the absence of main goalkeeper Franco Israel (rib contusion) is a fatal blow. The patron saint of 21 saves has a passing accuracy of only 58.3% this season, but the lack of experience of the backup goalkeeper may become a hidden danger.

The core defense players Sanitos Savoie (knee joint injury) and Saba Sazanov (knee joint injury) were both injured at the same time, leaving Saúl Coco, who averaged 5.4 clearances per game, to be alone. To make matters worse, striker Zakaria Abouhlal (thigh injury) only started once, but maintained a 100% shooting rate (2 shots on target).

Key Substitute Observation

Juventus midfielder Yildiz (3 assists, 20 key passes) needs to take on more organizational tasks. His 83.5% passing accuracy is the key to breaking the game. Turin relies heavily on striker Giovanni Simeone (4 goals), but his 170.3 minutes/goal efficiency still needs to be improved against Juventus' remnant team.

In this derby, which is full of injuries, perhaps the final competition is the tactical adjustment ability of Allegri and Juric - whoever can use the "chess pieces on the bench" to play the endgame well will be proud of Turin City.
