The Story in 60 Seconds

Juventus received positive news as Bosnia confirmed that attacking midfielder Kerim Alajbegovic was substituted against Sweden purely as a precaution due to cramp. Alajbegovic scored an equalizer in the match before being withdrawn in the 87th minute, raising initial injury concerns in Turin. He is expected to be available for Bosnia's upcoming match against Poland before returning to his club ahead of the Serie A restart.

The development provides vital relief for manager Luciano Spalletti, who is already missing Kenan Yildiz until December. Juventus signed the 2007-born Bosnian for approximately €35m during the summer, and he has quickly taken on a prominent role following a goal against NEC Nijmegen and a start against Atalanta.
