Juventus tackles striker shortage for Standard Liegi friendly

Juventas will face Standard Liege on Saturday without Turkish forward Kenan Yildiz, who continues a knee‑tendon recovery programme. Young striker Jeff Ekhator also withdraws after a minor hamstring injury suffered in the previous friendly. Central‑forward Dušan Vlahović remains sidelined and his future at the club is still uncertain.

With the attacking line depleted, manager Luciano Spalletti is expected to rely on Arkadiusz Milik and Loïs Openda, both of whom have unclear long‑term prospects at the club. New defender Celik may make his debut, while Dutch midfielder Teun Koopmeiners returns to training in Turin ahead of the new season.
