Juventus are navigating a demanding period shaped by injury setbacks and squad reshuffling, yet the club showed resilience by beating Atalanta 2-0 in their last Serie A outing to sit seventh on 10 points after five games, as the standings data confirms.

The most pressing concern has been the goalkeeping situation. Kamil Grabara, signed in the summer as back-up to Guglielmo Vicario, ruptured the cruciate ligament in his right knee and his season is effectively over. The club moved quickly, bringing back Brazilian veteran Neto on a contract until June 2027. Neto arrived at Caselle airport and completed his medical at J-Medical before signing, with the club officially confirming his return as the new vice-Vicario.

In attack, the absence of Kenan Yildiz, injured in the opening-day win at Frosinone, has forced a tactical shift. Francesco Conceiçao has stepped into the creative role, taking on responsibilities that would have fallen to the Turkish forward, and the data backs up his growing influence. There are also concerns over Conceiçao picking up a knock during Portugal's Nations League fixture against Norway, adding another layer of uncertainty ahead of the next Serie A round.

Off the pitch, reports suggest Ginevra Elkann could succeed Ferrero as club president, signalling potential change at boardroom level as Juventus look to push up the table.
