Juventus face Fiorentina in Serie A on Sunday evening (from 8:45 PM in the LIVE ticker). The Turin outfit may have to do without Germany striker Nick Woltemade.

As reported by Italian outlet "TuttoMercatoWeb", the German has come down with the flu. His availability against Florence is therefore in doubt.

This means coach Luciano Spalletti will likely have to manage without another key player, alongside Kenan Yildiz, Kephren Thuram, and Manuel Locatelli.

Starting debut for Kosovar?

Kosovan attacker Edon Zhegrova could move into the "Old Lady's" starting XI in place of Woltemade.

It would be the 27-year-old's first start in a Serie A match. Zhegrova moved from LOSC Lille to Italy in September 2025 for a fee of 15.5 million euros.
