With just over 48 hours to go until the game against SPAL, almost all of Juve's international contingent have now reported back to Continassa. Thursday saw the return of Joao Cancelo, Paulo Dybala and Wojciech Szczesny, while Blaise Matuidi will be back on Friday having been granted an extra day off.
Meanwhile the Bianconeri continued preparations for Saturday's match with some technical drills and tactical work with the next opponents in mind. Miralem Pjanic completed the full session with the rest of the squad.
Before training, Moise Kean spoke to Juventus TV, fresh from making his senior Italy debut against the USA on Tuesday. The 18-year-old became the first player born in the 2000s to play for the Azzurri, having previously been the first to appear in one of Europe's top five leagues. “One thing I've learnt at Juve is that hard work pays off,” the youngster said. “I try to give 100% every day and perform well wherever the gaffer wants me to play.
“I remember my Serie A debut very clearly. I'll never forget how I felt that day, or when I scored my first league goal against Bologna.”
The Bianconeri will be back at Juventus Training Centre for their next session on Friday afternoon. Massimiliano Allegri's pre-match news conference at Allianz Stadium will be shown live on Juventus TV from 12:00 CET.
