Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic returned to group training this morning, but Teun Koopmeiners continued to work separately, so he’s unlikely to recover for Saturday’s key game against Lazio.

Juventus trained at Continassa this morning and saw their best scorer, Vlahovic, return to action.

Several sources, including Sky Sport Italia and Ilbianconero.com, claim that Vlahovic completed a full training session with the rest of the team, so he’s expected to be eligible for a crucial Serie A match against Lazio on Saturday.

However, there was no good news on the Teun Koopmeiners front as the Dutchman continued to train separately, so there are fewer chances to see him join the team for the upcoming Serie A game.

Juventus, Roma, and Lazio are level on 63 points in the Serie A table and are fighting for fourth place and a Champions League spot.

Bologna are just one point below the trio, while Fiorentina and Milan have 59 and 57 points respectively.
