There is a wave of fresh optimism at the Allianz Stadium as Juventus prepare for their upcoming Serie A clash with Verona.

The powers that be at the club have been sweating over the fitness of these two key attacking figures, but now the path seems clearer. Yildiz, the Turkish teenage sensation who has been making waves with his technical brilliance and composure on the pitch, is once again available for selection. He has been tipped by many to be a future superstar, and his return gives Massimiliano Allegri more options in the final third. Vlahovic, the Serbian powerhouse who spearheads the attack, has also shaken off his knock. His physical presence and clinical finishing are formidable weapons that any defence in the league would dread to face. For Juventus fans, seeing these two hit top gear is the kind of reassurance they need as the season enters a critical phase. In the scheme of things, this is a massive lift for a team that has often looked short of inspiration in recent matches. The midfield and defence have done their jobs, but the attack has needed sharpness. Now, with Yildiz and Vlahovic back, the team can give a good account of themselves against a stubborn Verona side. At the end of the day, having your main men fit is half the battle won in modern football.
