Juventus coach Igor Tudor has decided not to include Andrea Cambiaso and Douglas Luiz for the Saturday match against Genoa. Cambiaso, 25, is recovering from a recurring ankle injury, while Luiz, 26, has faced muscle issues. Both were trained separately, and Tudor prefers caution, given their past setbacks this season.
For the upcoming match against Genoa, Juventus head coach Igor Tudor has decided not to include Andrea Cambiaso and Douglas Luiz in his squad. Tudor, who replaced Thiago Motta last Sunday, has only nine matches to secure Juventus a Champions League spot.
Both Cambiaso and Luiz have been training separately due to injuries. Luiz, 26, has struggled with recurring muscle issues this season, suffering multiple relapses since his move from Aston Villa. Some speculate his injuries stem from Juventus’ different training methods. Cambiaso, 25, has been dealing with an ankle problem since December, which has limited his availability. His ongoing fitness issues may have influenced Manchester City’s decision to postpone their interest in signing him.
Tudor and his staff are taking a cautious approach, prioritizing long-term fitness over rushing players back. Cambiaso, Juventus’ most reliable wingback, will be a significant absence, leaving Tudor with a selection dilemma. With Juventus fighting for a top-four finish, the manager’s decisions in these final nine matches will be crucial. The team is preparing for Saturday’s fixture against Genoa, but without these key players, Tudor will need to find alternative solutions to strengthen the squad.
