Juventus has received encouraging news regarding the recovery of Andrea Cambiaso and Randal Kolo Muani, offering a glimmer of hope amidst an early season injury crisis. Both players have made progress in their respective returns, as the club navigates a challenging start to the 2026-27 Serie A campaign.
Cambiaso Returns to Partial Training
Italy international Andrea Cambiaso took a significant step towards his return, participating in partial training with the Juventus group on Tuesday. The versatile full-back has been sidelined for four matches. His absence was due to an ankle injury. His reintegration into group training suggests he is nearing full fitness, providing a potential boost for the Bianconeri defence.
Kolo Muani Begins Recovery After Surgery
Randal Kolo Muani, meanwhile, underwent surgery on Monday to address a fractured finger. Despite the recent procedure, the forward was back in Turin and trained individually in the gym on Tuesday, indicating a swift start to his rehabilitation. Juventus is optimistic that Kolo Muani will be available for selection immediately following the upcoming international break, which would see him return to action sooner than some might expect.
Juventus Grapples with Early Season Injury Crisis
These positive updates come as Juventus continues to contend with a significant injury crisis at the start of the 2026-27 Serie A season. The club has faced an alarming build-up of injuries, impacting key areas of the squad. Currently, star attacker Kenan Yildiz, key midfielders Khephren Thuram and Manuel Locatelli are among those sidelined.
The extensive list of absentees has undoubtedly affected the team’s performance. Juventus recently suffered a 3-2 defeat against Sassuolo in their fourth Serie A fixture, a result that underscored the challenges posed by the depleted squad. The potential return of Cambiaso and Kolo Muani after the international break could provide much-needed depth and quality as the team looks to stabilise its form.
