Juventus Hopes for Milik's Return Against Napoli Amid Injury Uncertainty
As Juventus prepares for their upcoming clash with Napoli, all eyes are on the potential return of Arkadiusz Milik. The Polish striker has been out since undergoing a selective arthroscopic meniscectomy on his left knee in June, following an injury sustained during a friendly between Poland and Ukraine. His absence has been felt, particularly as he was initially expected to recover within 40 days. However, complications have delayed his return, with reports now suggesting he might not be ready until mid-October.

Juventus fans were hoping Milik could at least be available for the bench this Saturday when the team takes on Napoli at Allianz Stadium. But as it stands, there is no definitive word on whether the striker will be part of the squad. Sky Sports reports that the club is cautiously optimistic, but nothing has been confirmed yet. This uncertainty is a blow to Juventus, who would greatly benefit from Milik’s presence, given his versatility and experience in attack.
Milik, who joined Juventus in 2022, has contributed 17 goals in 74 appearances and was part of their Coppa Italia-winning squad. His familiarity with Napoli, having played for them from 2016 to 2021 and scoring 48 goals in 122 appearances, adds an intriguing layer to his potential involvement in this fixture. If he does make it back, it will be a return with emotional significance, given his history with the Partenopei.
Juventus is navigating a challenging start to the season, and having Milik back would certainly bolster their attacking options, especially with Dušan Vlahović leading the line. While the striker's recovery is progressing, the extended timeline for his return means fans will have to wait a bit longer to see him back in action. Juventus remains hopeful, but Milik’s status remains one to watch closely as the game against Napoli approaches.
