Juventus defender Tiago Djalo, who joined the club from Lille in the January transfer window, could finally make his Bianconeri debut in tomorrow’s match against Salernitana.
Djalo’s arrival at Juventus was met with much anticipation from fans, as the young defender was seen as a promising prospect who could add depth and quality to the Bianconeri’s backline.
However, his debut has been delayed due to a knee injury that required several months of rehabilitation.
The Portuguese international sustained an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury while playing for Lille in October 2022.

He underwent surgery and began his rehabilitation process, which he completed at Juventus’ training facilities in Turin.
Djalo has been available for selection since February, but he has yet to make his official debut for Juventus. This has left him somewhat of a mystery figure among the Bianconeri faithful.
With Juventus facing a defensive crisis due to injuries to Mattia De Sciglio, Alex Sandro, and Danilo, Djalo could finally get his chance to shine tomorrow against Salernitana.
With only four defenders available for three starting spots, Allegri may turn to the former Lille man to fill the void.
The match against Salernitana is crucial for Juventus’ Champions League aspirations, and Allegri will need to make some tough decisions regarding his team selection.
Djalo’s potential debut could add an element of surprise and unpredictability to the Bianconeri’s backline.
Juventus fans have been eagerly awaiting Djalo’s debut, and they will be hoping that tomorrow’s match against Salernitana will be the stage for the young defender to finally showcase his talents.
If given the opportunity, Djalo will be determined to make a positive impact and help his team secure a vital victory.
