Kerim Alajbegovic is expected to be available for Juventus' Serie A fixture against Cagliari after returning from international duty with only a minor physical issue. The forward trained individually on Thursday morning following medical checks, but the club's medical staff expect him to rejoin group training shortly. Meanwhile, Francisco Conceicao has returned to Turin on an individualized training program, while Nico Gonzalez and Jhon Lucumi are expected to arrive following their international matches.
