We are now entering the second half of the October international break, one where we wait to see just how many Juventus players will come back from national team duty still healthy or there will be more to worry about.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Plus, there\u2019s also just a big stretch of games coming out of the break.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Within the first eight days of Juve\u2019s return to the field, they will face Como, Real Madrid in the Champions League and then former boss Maurizio Sarri and Lazio. That\u2019s a hugely important stretch just as we\u2019ve said already a couple of times early in this 2025-26 season \u2014 especially with the way the UCL league phase has started out for Igor Tudor\u2019s squad.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
It\u2019s still just October, but things are certainly taking on a sense of importance in which maybe we hadn\u2019t seen at this point last season just knowing how competitive the race for the top four looks in Serie A as well as the fact that Juve have just two points after their first two Champions League fixtures.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
