Let’s take a look at today’s news together. 😱 Juventus, is Conte a possibility? Antonio Conte is keeping an eye on the situation at Juventus. After the defeat to Sassuolo, the former coach’s name has started circulating again in the background, with Luciano Spalletti inevitably coming under scrutiny . Conte is not used to taking over midway through a season, but Juventus could be an exception because of his strong bond with the club, at least according to Gazzetta dello Sport . For now, though, Spalletti is not under threat and the club does not seem willing to change coaches after just four matchdays. A possible return for Conte would also be complicated financially. So there are no negotiations , but the situation remains one to watch. 🔄 Milan, what changes against Benfica? Milan make their Europa League debut tomorrow. According to the latest reports, there should not be many changes compared to what was seen in the second half against Lazio. In goal will once again be Mike Maignan , with Gila and Pavlovic as the outside center-backs in the back three. In the middle, Gabbia should return, with De Winter set to be rested. On the right, there will be room for Chukwueze , while Musah and Rabiot should form the midfield duo and Moreira is expected to start on the left flank. Cissé and Pulisic will play behind Ramos . The rotation, however, could be more extensive against Lecce. And who knows, maybe Camarda could get some minutes too. 🤕 Inter, Spence’s return delayed again Excitement is growing at Inter over the debut of Djed Spence , but the Nerazzurri fans and Cristian Chivu will have to wait a little longer. The English wing-back has still not managed to take the field because of some physical issues. According to the latest rumors, his return has been pushed back further. The medical and coaching staff have chosen to proceed with the utmost caution to avoid any setbacks and, barring surprises, the full-back should be fully available again after the October international break . A significant absence for Chivu, but the goal is to have a fully recovered player ready to make his contribution out wide. 💪 Napoli, three returns for Allegri After the international break, Allegri should get back three important players for his Napoli side, which is dealing with a long injury list. According to the Corriere dello Sport , Anguissa could already return for the away match against Fiorentina, while Meret and Marianucci are expected back for the October 10 clash at the Maradona against Frosinone. The return of Marianucci , sidelined since the summer with a medial collateral ligament injury in his left knee, would give Allegri’s defense an important extra option, while they wait for Buongiorno to recover, which will still take a few more months. After the break, Giovane is also expected back after surgery for an inguinal hernia. 🤩 Roma at full strength against Inter Good news for Gasperini ahead of the clash with Inter. Ndicka and Wesley have recovered from their respective issues and will be fully available for Saturday’s big match at the Olimpico. The Ivorian, coming off a bout of flu, should return to his place in the center of defense, while the Brazilian is ready to come back on the left flank. Gasperini is therefore heading toward a full-strength Roma for the most anticipated match. In midfield, Manu Koné is also expected to return to the starting lineup, while Lorenzo Pellegrini should once again begin on the bench as he continues his comeback after the break. On the right, meanwhile, the battle between Molina and Lulli remains open. 🔥 Lazio, so much depth ahead of Venezia! After saying goodbye to last season’s starting pair, Lazio have rediscovered depth and competition in central defense. As reported by the Corriere dello Sport , Gattuso can count on four center-backs for two spots: in the opening official matches, Danilho Doekhi and Oliver Provstgaard have featured, playing a key role in the two clean sheets against Bologna and Genoa. Behind them, Diogo Leite and Josip Sutalo are ready to fight for their chances. The Portuguese defender, who arrived in the final hours of the transfer window, is mainly pushing Provstgaard for the left center-back role, while the Croatian impressed on his debut against Milan and is aiming for confirmation. Ahead of the away trip to Venezia, Doekhi is expected to grit his teeth despite the brace on his operated hand, while Sutalo hopes to start again. 🧤 Fiorentina, a signing for the future Fiorentina are looking to the future and have sealed a deal for Nikodem Licznerski , a Polish goalkeeper born in 2010 from FASE Szczecin. The young shot-stopper has signed a three-year contract , with an option for a fourth season, confirming the Viola club’s desire to invest in a highly promising profile for their youth academy. Licznerski, just sixteen, will naturally need time to complete his development path and adapt to Italian football. FASE Szczecin said goodbye to the goalkeeper with a message on their channels, thanking him for the journey they shared and wishing him all the best for his new adventure in Italy .
