Juventus began their Serie A 2026/27 season with a narrow but important 1-0 victory at Frosinone, a result that carries real weight given last season's failure to qualify for the Champions League. Bremer's headed goal, set up by Conceiçao, settled the match and gave Luciano Spalletti's side a winning platform, though the performance was far from convincing across 90 minutes. The first half showed genuine promise, with Juventus sharp and purposeful in attack. The second half was a different story, with the team visibly fading and Frosinone hitting the crossbar in stoppage time.

The result, though, was quickly overshadowed by two pressing concerns. Goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario, signed from Tottenham as the new first choice, was forced off late in the game with what appeared to be a muscular problem, replaced by Mattia Perin who is himself set to leave for Palermo. The timing is awkward, with the club still searching for a backup keeper after Michele Di Gregorio's expected departure to Bournemouth. Kamil Grabara has been identified as the likely option to fill that role, but nothing is confirmed.

Spalletti also raised eyebrows with his comments on Randal Kolo Muani, who missed a clear chance before Bremer's goal. The manager noted pointedly that the striker had not played regularly for two years, suggesting patience will be required as the forward finds his feet. Kenan Yildiz, wearing the number 10 shirt, was below his best on the day but remains central to Spalletti's plans, with the club having blocked any approach from Arsenal.
