Vlahovic returns to Juventus training: When could he next play in Serie A

Dusan Vlahovic has resumed training after adductor surgery and could be available for Juventus’ next matches. For punters, he is likelier to return as a substitute—favour "anytime scorer" or "impact sub" bets over first-scorer wagers. Monitor official team sheets; back Juventus to win with cautious goal-scorer bets on Vlahovic until his minutes are confirmed.

Vlahovic Back in Juventus Training After Adductor Surgery

Dusan Vlahovic has returned to Juventus' training following a lengthy recovery from an adductor injury that sidelined him since late November. The Serbia international underwent surgery in early December and has been on a progressive rehabilitation programme, taking a significant step by joining team drills this week.

Injury Timeline and Pre-Injury Form

Vlahovic picked up the adductor problem during Juventus’s 2-1 win over Cagliari in late November. Before the injury he had registered three Serie A goals and one assist in 13 league appearances, and he had also scored three times in four Champions League outings prior to the lay-off.

Training Return and Match Availability

This Wednesday marked Vlahovic’s first involvement in on-field team activity in more than three months. While the return to training is a crucial milestone, Juventus are likely to manage his workload carefully. Expect him to be eased back via substitute appearances before being considered for a full start.

Team Selection Implications

The striker’s presence on the training pitch boosts Juventus’s attacking options as they approach a busy spell of fixtures. Managers typically integrate returning players slowly, so Vlahovic could feature on matchday squads first and be used in the latter stages of games to regain sharpness and match fitness.

Betting and Tactical Considerations

From a betting perspective, Vlahovic’s comeback suggests a conservative approach: favour market options that account for limited minutes, such as anytime scorer, substitute to score, or Juventus to win. Avoid backing him as first scorer until bench role and minutes are confirmed by official team announcements.
