Juventus Vs Como: Jonathan David Confirmed in Squad as Spalletti Names Group
Juventus Vs Como takes on added intrigue after head coach Luciano Spalletti released his squad list confirming Jonathan David is available for selection. The striker’s availability matters because he missed the recent Champions League match with a groin injury and did not train with the group this week, leaving questions over whether he will start.
Juventus Vs Como: Squad list and fitness updates
Spalletti included the 26-year-old Jonathan David in the matchday group for the Serie A fixture, confirming the striker is eligible to play. David’s absence from training this week means his readiness to start remains uncertain, even though the coach indicated earlier that David would be available for the fixture.
The squad release also highlights a stretched availability picture for the club. Dusan Vlahovic, Arkadiusz Milik, Emil Holm and Gleison Bremer are all injured and will miss this match, while Pierre Kalulu will be unavailable due to a one-game ban. Those absences narrow Spalletti’s options and elevate the importance of the players who are fit and selected.
Attack options and selection scenarios
Projected attacking configurations place Jonathan David alongside Kenan Yildiz and Francisco Conceição in advanced roles if David is fit to start. Should David not be ready for the starting XI, the manager would likely turn to Kenan Yildiz in a different role, with Yildiz capable of being deployed as a false nine. The squad composition and current shortages mean selection choices will be closely watched when the team sheet is confirmed.
With several forwards and defensive options sidelined by injury or suspension, the fixture presents a test for squad depth. Names called into the matchday group will bear greater responsibility, and the final lineup will reflect the balance Spalletti seeks between cautious management of a player returning from a groin issue and the immediate demand for competitive form.
Broadcast details and match access
Information released with the squad list did not include broadcast, kick-off time or streaming details for Juventus Vs Como. Those elements were not part of the squad announcement and remain to be confirmed through separate channels. Recent updates indicate the focus from the club’s perspective is on team selection and player fitness ahead of the fixture.
What to watch when Juventus take the field
- Jonathan David’s role: whether he starts or is on the bench will determine immediate attacking shape.
- Kenan Yildiz’s deployment: his use as a false nine is the primary contingency if David is not starting.
- Impact of absences: the missing players through injury and suspension will test squad rotation and defensive cover.
Spalletti’s squad release sets clear boundaries for selection while leaving the final tactical decision on David’s start to match-day assessments. For followers of Juventus Vs Como, the confirmed inclusion of Jonathan David ends speculation about his availability but does not fully resolve how he will be used. Details on kick-off timing and viewing arrangements were not provided with the squad list and may be published separately; those items could change as matchday approaches.
