Juventus travel to Tuscany to face Fiorentina on Serie A Matchday 11, with kickoff set for 20:45 CET on Sunday, November 8, 2026, as manager Luciano Spalletti aims to secure a third victory before the international break.
Spalletti’s squad currently sits with six players unavailable, including Yildiz, Thuram, Locatelli, Grabara, Nico González, and Ekhator, leaving the visiting roster stretched as they head into Florence. The visiting side enters the fixture following back-to-back wins against Napoli and AZ, results that have helped the Bianconeri regain momentum after an inconsistent stretch in the league.
Midfielder Weston McKennie returns to the side after recovering from a muscle problem that forced him to miss the European fixture against AZ. Sky Sport Italia reported that Spalletti intends to hand McKennie an immediate return to the starting lineup. Meanwhile, Çelik and Conceição face late fitness checks and may be restricted to the bench.
Spalletti Names Squad for Florence Trip
The selected group features Vicario in goal behind a defensive line expected to include Kalulu, Bremer, Lucumí, and Cabal. Spalletti named a full traveling squad for Sunday’s encounter.
The midfield core brings together McKennie, Douglas Luiz, Koopmeiners, and Alajbegovic, while Kolo Muani and Woltemade form the attack in a projected 4-4-2 shape.
The complete squad chosen by Spalletti for the trip comprises Celik, Bremer, Gatti, Kelly, Koopmeiners, Kolo Muani, Zhegrova, Douglas Luiz, Boga, Kalulu, Alajbegovic, Ekhator, McKennie, Pinsoglio, Rugani, Vicario, Lucumi, Woltemade, Sarr, Cabal, and Neto.
This was reported according to Yahoo Sports.
Juventus Chase Scoring Milestones in Florence
Juventus have claimed 82 victories in Serie A meetings with Fiorentina, compared to 37 wins for the Viola, alongside 55 draws. History favors the visitors in the head-to-head record.
The Bianconeri have scored 275 top-flight goals against their Tuscan opponents, leaving them two short of Inter’s benchmark of 277 goals against the club. A two-goal performance on Sunday would draw Juventus level with that scoring mark.

Individual milestones are also within reach. Kolo Muani enters the match having scored five of his last six Serie A goals away from home.
Since February 2025, that away tally matches Dusan Vlahovic for the most by any Juventus player.
Kolo Muani carries four goals and three assists into the weekend. He also stands as the only player at the club this season with at least three goals and three assists across all competitions.
Kerim Alajbegovic can become the first foreign player in Juventus history to score in two top-flight games in a row before turning 20.
Fiorentina Host Juventus Amid Roster Strain
The hosts sit just above the relegation zone but carry an offensive threat through Franco Mastantuono, who has recorded 38 shots—11 on target—in Serie A this season.
Fiorentina are managing their own roster constraints, with Parisi, Atta, and Pongračić sidelined, while Ranieri is evaluated for a place on the bench.
Yahoo noted that Spalletti skipped his usual pre-match press conference due to the compressed fixture schedule.
Following Sunday’s fixture, Juventus enter the international break before returning to action to host Venezia on November 22 at 12:30, ahead of an away trip to Como on November 29.
