What happened. Pape Matar Sarr completed a full training session with the Juventus squad on Friday, his first since joining on loan from Tottenham on deadline day. He is expected to be available for Sunday's away game at Sassuolo.

• Sarr had trained separately in Turin to regain match fitness.
• Khephren Thuram and Manuel Locatelli had surgery and face months out.
• Weston McKennie and Andrea Cambiaso also likely miss Sunday's trip.

With Thuram and Locatelli sidelined for months, Sarr's return gives Luciano Spalletti badly needed midfield depth.
