Spalletti Tells Juventus to Ditch ‘Calculations’ as Yildiz Trains Pain-Free and Vlahovic Is Available

Overview

• The Juventus coach said the team should chase Champions League-level performances rather than do fourth-place math, with the club three points ahead of Como and Roma.
• He criticized the 0-0 draw at Milan as too cautious and said the display left him with a knot in his stomach the next day.
• Kenan Yildiz returned to full training without knee pain and is expected to be involved against Hellas Verona.
• Dusan Vlahovic is back training with intensity and is available to help in the final weeks, a boost with Juan Cabal and Arkadiusz Milik out for the season.
• A minute’s silence will precede all Serie A matches this weekend to honor Alex Zanardi, whose resilience Spalletti praised in his remarks.
