Vlahovic and Koopmeiners: What Juventus training says for Lazio availability – Football Italia

Juventus will travel to the capital to take on Lazio on Saturday in another crucial match in the race for a spot in the Serie A top four, but there are still doubts over both Dusan Vlahovic and Teun Koopmeiners after Igor Tudor’s training session on Tuesday. 

Juventus currently occupy fourth place in the Serie A standings, but they are currently level on points with both Roma and Friday’s opponents Lazio on 63, while Bologna sit just one point behind them all on 62 with three games to go, making for an incredibly tight race for a place in next season’s Champions League. 

Juventus ended level at 1-1 away against Bologna in a crucial league fixture over the weekend, which means they now have one win, one draw and one loss from their last three matches in Serie A. 

Koopmeiners has been unavailable for all three of those matches, while Vlahovic had to withdraw midway through the 1-0 loss against Parma, which means that he has also missed the last two through injury. 

What Tuesday’s training told us about Vlahovic and Koopmeiners availability for Lazio-Juventus 

According to reports from juventusnews24.com, both Vlahovic and Koopmeiners trained on personalised programmes at Continassa on Tuesday. 

The rest of the Juventus first-team were separated into two groups for Tuesday’s training, one made up of those who started in the 1-1 draw with Bologna on Sunday and one of those who didn’t. 

Tuesday’s reports indicate that Vlahovic is still a doubt heading into the Lazio clash at the Stadio Olimpico on Friday, but that he is still in contention to feature. 

Koopmeiners also remains a doubt, and is slightly less likely to feature against Lazio compared to Vlahovic as things stand. 

Juventus will also be without Kenan Yildiz against Lazio, as he is set to serve the second game of his two-match suspension for violent conduct after his sending off during the 2-0 win over Monza at the end of April.
