Juventus Squad Update: Holm Returns, Adzic Absent for Genoa Clash
Juventus manager Thiago Motta has named his squad for the Serie A match against Genoa, with defender Holm returning to the squad. The 23-year-old defender, who missed the previous fixture with a minor muscular issue, is available for selection after returning to full training. His return bolsters the defensive options for the Bianconeri. The only confirmed absentee is Vasilije Adzic, who returned from international duty with a minor injury, as confirmed by the club in a press conference earlier this week.
The 18-year-old Montenegrin midfielder, Adzic, has been a sporadic but promising figure in the squad this season. His absence is not expected to be long-term. The squad list, published on the club's official website, includes all other first-team regulars, with the notable inclusion of Holm, who is now in contention for a place in the starting lineup. The 24-man list also features the attacking quartet of Federico Chiesa, Dusan Vlahovic, Kenan Yildiz, and Arkadiusz Milik, all of whom are fit and available for selection.
Holm's return is a timely boost for Juventus as they look to consolidate their position in the Serie A table. The 24-year-old has made 15 appearances across all competitions this season, primarily as a right-back, providing two assists. His defensive solidity and ability to join the attack have been valuable assets. His availability comes at a crucial period, with Juventus still competing on multiple fronts and seeking to secure a top-four finish.
The club's official statement, released on Saturday afternoon, confirmed that all other players reported for duty without any new injury concerns. The squad list includes three goalkeepers, eight defenders, six midfielders, and seven forwards, giving manager Thiago Motta a full complement of options to choose from for the Monday evening fixture at the Allianz Stadium. The team will be looking to build on their recent form and secure a vital three points in their pursuit of a Champions League spot for next season.
