**Milan, Italy –** AC Milan faces a pivotal Serie A clash against injury-ridden Juventus on Saturday, a match that could significantly impact the title race. Trailing league leader Napoli by eight points (though with a game in hand), a loss to Juventus could severely hamper Milan’s chances. The top of the Serie A table is incredibly tight, with only two points separating first-place Napoli and sixth-place Juventus. Milan sits seventh, six points behind Juventus.

Juventus’s injury woes are considerable, with key striker Dusan Vlahovic sidelined alongside Arkadiusz Milik, Nico Gonzalez, Juan Cabal, and Gleison Bremer. Douglas Luiz is also doubtful. Milan isn’t without its own injury concerns, with Matteo Gabbia, Ismael Bennacer, and Alessandro Florenzi all potentially missing the game.

Elsewhere in Serie A, Claudio Ranieri makes his return to AS Roma as manager for a third stint, facing a challenging away match against Napoli on Sunday. Roma, currently 12th, appointed Ranieri after sacking Ivan Juric. Napoli will hope to have midfielder Scott McTominay available after an injury scare.

Inter Milan, in fourth place, travels to Hellas Verona on Saturday, boasting a 26-game unbeaten streak against their opponents. However, Inter manager Simone Inzaghi has concerns over Hakan Calhanoglu and Carlos Augusto.

Atalanta, currently second, aims to extend their 10-match unbeaten run with a match against Parma, while Fiorentina, third in the table and on a six-game winning streak, faces Como.
