After nearly four months out, Dusan Vlahovic completed full training and could feature at Udinese; punters may back Juventus as favorites and consider Vlahovic as an anytime scorer given his training goal and season form — his return strengthens Juventus’ attacking markets for upcoming fixtures.
Vlahovic completes full training and set for Juventus return
Dusan Vlahovic finished a full session with the Juventus squad at the Continassa training camp and is widely expected to be included in the travelling party for the trip to Udinese. The striker, sidelined since pulling up during the Serie A match against Cagliari on November 29, 2025, has been working toward a comeback after a lengthy rehab.
Injury details and recovery timeline
The injury was diagnosed as a high-grade lesion to the muscle-tendon junction of the left adductor longus, a setback that initially raised fears he could be out for up to five months. Having completed the entire training session and scoring in an internal game, Vlahovic’s progress suggests he could return sooner than first feared.
Form and season context
Before the injury Vlahovic had registered six goals and two assists in 17 competitive appearances this season. With roughly 10 matches remaining in the campaign, his performances will be crucial both for Juventus’ on-pitch ambitions and for Vlahovic’s contract prospects, as his current deal expires on June 30.
Implications for Juventus and squad selection
A fit Vlahovic restores a central attacking option for Juventus, giving the coach more tactical flexibility and a focal point for the frontline. His availability could influence team selection, attacking patterns, and minutes allocation among the forwards.
Contract and future considerations
With the season’s final stretch approaching, Vlahovic’s output in the remaining fixtures may play a significant role in negotiations over a new contract. Strong performances would bolster Juventus’ case to retain him, while any recurring issues could complicate renewal talks.
What this means for bettors
Vlahovic’s return is likely to shorten Juventus’ odds in upcoming matches and could shift markets involving goalscorer lines and team totals.

Punters should monitor official squad announcements and fitness confirmations ahead of placing bets, but an available Vlahovic increases Juventus’ attacking threat and the appeal of anytime-scorer or match-winner markets.
