Official: Spalletti’s first Juventus squad of the 2026-27 season revealed

Official: Spalletti’s first Juventus squad of the 2026-27 season revealed Luciano Spalletti has named a travelling squad of 26 players for Juventus’s first Serie A match of the season away against Torino on Sunday evening, including summer signings Randal Kolo Muani, Kerim Alajbegovic, Guglielmo Vicario, Jhon Lucumi and Zeki Celik. It is a bumper squad for Spalletti on the first week of the 2026-27 Serie A season, and one that includes a few names and faces that haven’t played in Italy for some time: Douglas Luiz has returned from a disappointing 2025-26 season in the Premier League and is tipped to start on Sunday.

All but one of Juve’s summer recruits have been included in the travelling squad for the Frosinone clash, but not the young Jeff Ekhator, who continues to make his way back from an early injury.

It is expected that Alajbegovic, Lucumi and Celik will start amongst the substitutes. Kick-off is due at 17.30 BST.
