Juventus: the first-shot curse returns Juventus have problems in attack, but above all in defence. It is not just individual disasters: the back line as a whole looks shaky. As highlighted by Gazzetta dello Sport, the first-shot curse has returned: in Genoa, the Bianconeri conceded from the first shot on target, just as they so often did last season. Milan: fitness updates on the stars ahead of the derby How are Milan's three sidelined stars doing? With the derby coming up for the Rossoneri, the news is mixed for Ruben Amorim. According to Gazzetta dello Sport, Moreira and Gila are making good progress in their recoveries and should return barring any setbacks. It is a different story for Rabiot, who looks very unlikely to recover in time. Inter: Chivu has already chosen his derby strike partnership Having battled past Venezia, Inter now turn their attention to the derby, with Chivu already working on his strike partnership. Bonny, who started in Venice, will drop to the bench to make way for Pio Esposito. The latter has looked a little off the pace in recent weeks but is ready to reclaim his starting place and look for a goal in the derby against Milan, according to Gazzetta dello Sport. Napoli: more than just the stadium on the agenda The stadium is not the only topic on the table in Napoli's talks with the Aponte family. Alongside the plans for the new ground, ADL has met with members of the family behind MSC to discuss sponsorship. The deal expires in 2029 and, according to Il Mattino, Napoli would like to extend it, given that it brings in around €20 million a season. Roma: Forbs targeted to strengthen the attack Roma will look for a forward in January, and Carlos Forbs has caught D'Amico's eye. According to transferfeed.com, the Giallorossi are leading the chase for the Club Brugge player, but Premier League giants, particularly Tottenham and United, could derail their plans. Forbs' price tag is €30 million. Lazio: two key players set to return Lazio are flying, but having extra options in the squad is vital, especially around a midweek round of fixtures. The Biancocelesti will soon get that boost, with Rovella and Marusic ready to return. According to Gazzetta dello Sport, both will be available to Gattuso for the match against Cagliari, although whether they play the full game or only part of it is still to be assessed and decided. Fiorentina: selection dilemmas for Vanoli Vanoli has plenty of decisions to make ahead of the match against Atalanta. Viery will come into defence in place of Pongracic and Ranieri, while Vanoli is considering Gnonto in an attacking midfield role behind Pellegrino. Fiorentina (4-3-2-1): de Gea; Jiménez, Dragusin, Viery, Valdepeñas; Ndour, Fagioli, Brescianini; Mastantuono, Gnonto; Pellegrino. Coach: Vanoli This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence. You can read the original version in 🇮🇹 here.
