Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic is set to resume group training in the coming days after being sidelined since late November. The 26-year-old could be called up for the Serie A home match against Pisa on March 7, though he would likely start from the bench. His return comes as Juventus aim to secure a top-four finish for Champions League qualification.
Sky Sport Italia reports that Dusan Vlahovic will return to group training with Juventus in the coming days. The forward has been out since the end of November, when he suffered a high-degree adductor injury that required surgery.
Vlahovic could feature in Juventus's Serie A match against Pisa on March 7 at the Allianz Stadium in Turin, Italy, but is expected to begin on the bench. This season, the 26-year-old has recorded six goals and two assists in 17 appearances across all competitions.
His availability will provide a boost to manager Luciano Spalletti's attacking options. Jonathan David has been inconsistent in the role, while Lois Openda has rarely started since Vlahovic's injury.
Juventus currently sit sixth in the Serie A table following a 3-3 draw against Roma on Sunday. They trail Roma, who are in fourth place, by four points. A top-four finish is necessary for automatic qualification to the UEFA Champions League.
Vlahovic's contract at Juventus expires at the end of the season, sparking discussions about his future at the club.
