Milik makes first Juventus appearance since 2024 & Vlahovic returns

One of Juventus’ forgotten stars was back on the field in Bianconeri colours on Saturday evening, when Arkadiusz Milik replaced Jeremie Boga with ten minutes left to play.

The Polish forward has been sat on the sidelines for nearly two years, having played his last match for the club in May 2024.

Since then, numerous injury setbacks have pushed the Pole right to the fringes in Turin but he made his return to the field tonight.

Not just Milik, as Vlahovic returns to the pitch for Juventus

Meanwhile, even more positively, Dusan Vlahovic made his return from injury, replacing Lloyd Kelly at the same time as Milik was introduced, as Spalletti looked to snatch a late winner.

The Serbian has been absent since the end of November, and has been sorely missed, especially given the struggles of Lois Openda and Jonathan David.

With Vlahovic’s contract up in the summer, the end of the season is vital to prove he is worthy of a new deal in Turin, or to persuade suitors to take a chance on him.
