The most pressing issue at Juventus right now is not on the pitch but between the posts. Kamil Grabara, signed in the summer as backup to Guglielmo Vicario, suffered a serious knee injury in training shortly after his debut, tearing the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee. His season is effectively over, forcing the club to move quickly in the transfer market. Their solution was a familiar face: Norberto Neto, the Brazilian goalkeeper who previously spent two years at Juventus between 2015 and 2017, has returned to Turin on a contract running until June 2027. He completed his medical at the J-Medical centre and will serve as Vicario's deputy for the remainder of the campaign, with the club also reportedly identifying Frosinone's Lorenzo Palmisani as a long-term goalkeeping target.

On the field, Juventus sit seventh in Serie A with 10 points from five games, level with Frosinone and Como just above and below them in the table. Their most recent result was a 2-0 home win over Atalanta, a positive outcome that came after a difficult run including a draw with Milan and a defeat to Sassuolo. With Kenan Yildiz still working through his recovery from the foot injury he picked up on the opening day at Frosinone, Francesco Conceicao has stepped into a more prominent creative role. The winger's form has been a genuine bright spot, though concerns about a knock he picked up during Portugal's Nations League match against Norway add another layer of uncertainty heading into the next fixture away at Cagliari on October 11.
